Next up the ladder is the Audioquest Forest. With the inner workings from the Pearl, the Forest is already punching above it's weight. Add to this the Solid Polyethylene Insulation jacket, surrounding the cable working to prevent Radio Frequency (bourne from any electrical equipment in your home) from interfering and damaging the quality of the image and sound passing down the cable. This then takes the Audioquest theory and effectively reduces the loss from the original source. The Audioquest Forest is ideal for those who admire the Pearl for its technical abilities but have a need for a longer length or have a lot of cables running side by side which will deteriorate the perfect signal. With its five star review from What Hi Fi, you really must put this cable on your shortlist.

What HiFi Five Stars, May. 2010: "From the off it’s apparent the Forest is a nifty performer. Images through this HDMI are sharp, with crisp, well defined edges, while contrasts here are luxurious, yet refreshingly natural at the same time."
"When it comes to sonics, this Audioquest also can hold its own, with an open, smooth sound that packs a taut and well formed bass."
