The Foxtel is much better with the new cables not sure why I put up with the inferior quality for so long.
Adam Pikusa, SA
I'm extremely happy with the cables - I'd heard some older generation Kordz cables before, so I knew they'd be good. I need to get some more cables for another setup soon, so I'll be back! Many thanks again

To Cinema Link, I recently purchased your KORDZ HDMI Master Series Cable and use it to drive Blu-Ray moves from the PS3 to a large True-HD LCD TV. The results are simply awesome, we compared the KORDZ with more expensive cables and found that blacks were more pronounced and certain shadings were crisper. The whole experience has been a series of surprises - surprised that delivery took 1 day from ordering, surprised at how beautifully presented the KORDZ cable was (I am not used to silk lined fancy boxes), and surprised at how crisp and clean the images are in comparison to other cables. If people knew what I know, they would not go anywhere else for their Home Theatre Cables.

I've been really happy with your last generation HDMI cable for DVD usage (18 months), so now that I've just added a HDMI Xbox 360 to my system I've purchased your newer evo-s HDMI cable to hook it up. The Xbox 360 now runs at 1080p Enhanced with your HDMI cable which is markedly better than even Xbox's AV component cable (which can only run 1080i on my 50" Viera plasma). I'm seeing slight hue and shape subtleties that I've never seen before, and as a result colours/shapes are defintely sharper/crisper. So thanks! But don't ask my wife for a testimonial now that her husband is on the end of a controller more often!

A 46" Samsung M8 LCD TV plugged into a Topfield HD PVR mysteriously stopped displaying video through the HDMI inputs after about 3 months of use. It worked through the 3rd HDMI input on the side of the unit, but that lasted about 15 minutes when the colour suddenly washed out, a number of analogue style noise lines appeared through the picture, massive amounts of digital picture break-up set-in, and then the screen went completely black and said no signal (just like the other HDMI ports did before it). It worked fine through component in, so we knew the Topfield was functional. Rang Samsung warranty repairs, spoke to a Service technician who said it was a settings thing, and there was nothing he could do. If he came out, Samsung wouldn't pay him as it wasn't a warranty repair issue. He wouldn't (or couldn't) elaborate, and much arguing later, I decided to search the internet for potential answers. Searched the net and there was a massive amount of speculation and (mis)information regarding the problem with Samsung HDMI 1.3a ports on their display panels. It appears that they require a HDMI 1.3a specification cable in order for them to work consistently (or at all in some cases) regardless of what version HDMI port they may be connected to at the other end of the cable. Purchased an evo-s HDMI 1.3a cable from Cinema Link, plugged it in, and the picture worked straight away. Not only that, but we now have audio through the HDMI input (which we never had using the old cable). The old cable does actually work on an older device that doesn't support HDMI 1.3a, but will not work on the Samsung LCD anymore (don't know why). This could turn out to be the cheapest and most convenient/effective warranty repair ever made to an LCD TV.

Hi to all staff at Cinema Link.
Congrats on the new name and the website absolutely fantastic. I finally have purchased the Master LFE cable and let me tell this thing is a Gem. From the great fit connection to its rigid feel you can feel the 18awg content. The overall sound has improved right through to all the speakers especialy to the sub, the bass is tight and very accurate right down th 30Hz and the sound is just unbelieble.Sasha Klun, NSW
Dear Cinema Link, I received my 2m Evolution-S HDMI cable this afternoon. Thank you for the prompt delivery (I only ordered yesterday) and the product is fantastic. Cheers.
Luke Needham, NSW
Just wanted to say my splitter arrived the next day as promised, and it works perfectly, even without using the plugpack! I recommend it highly, it even seems to work on 1080p/24 as advertised!
Matthew O, SA
Thanks for all of the high quality cables you have supplied to me over the last 12 months. Its actually frightening how much money i have spent on this site :P .
A Brooke, VIC
Gday Jack. It's decent of you to refund the $10. Yes, I'd anticipated that the speaker cables came in pairs, but after thinking about it, it made sense, so I was happy to order another one. The difference in sound, compared the bare 'electrical wire' setup is remarkable. Tinnyness at higher volume level has gone. Gives the CEC amp53 and TL51XR CD player and Legend Acoustics Kama speakers a chance to show their best. U beaut!
Ron W, WA
Thanx for your time the other day.I have hooked my new components with the Kordz HDMI cables and its just unbelievable the picture and sound. I am pleased with the results and with HT Custom Cables support.
Sasha Klun, NSW
I hooked the Vector Cable up between the CD and AV amp and was impressed, even though this is really designated for the TV to Amp connection and the sound was most pleasing. I didn’t have time to try the Vortex but I’m sure it will be another improvement even in the CD to Amp setup without the DAC in between. Also I’ve had time to set up the subwoofer properly and the difference that your cable has made is amazing. The bass is really tight and well integrated with the front speakers. The sub is now at the back of the room being the sofa but it’s impossible to tell that it’s there as the sound is so integrated.
Craig, SA
Hi, just a quick bit of feedback. On the weekend, I ordered a pair of sub cables to bi-amp my speakers. They arrived today and I’ve hooked them up and spent a bit of time listening to some 2 channel music. The bi-amping has made a big improvement in sound and I’ve no doubt that this is in part due to the quality of the Kordz cables. I’ve tried many cables including some custom made Canare cables and these are up there with the best of them. Thanks again for the very fast shipping and excellent product.
SF, ACT
I would just like to say thankyou for the HDMI cables,I think that they are of excellent quality for the price. I will be getting some other cables off you soon.
Jason Smith, VIC
Great cable by the way. You supplied me with a razor 12m last time from memory and it's certainly a better quailty cable than the one I initially bought for my projector. New house now, so new cables!
M Young, QLD
Good morning, Thank you for another set of great speaker cables received yesterday. Great product and great service.
Chris G, VIC

Matt Harward, NSW
"Hi, I received my replacement 6 Channel 1.5m cable this morning at 8:30 am. What an amazing turn around time! Thank you for handling the situation so rapidly and most important, professionally. Also a big thanks for the cable upgrade. I will be sure to recommend you to other HT owners."
Mark, NSW
"Hi, Just a quick note to let you know that the cables turned up today so I am very happy. Thank You again for the excellent service. The service and quality from HTCC was second to none."
Dave Burns, QLD
"Just wanted to let you know the cables arrived yesterday morning and I connected them all last night. Very happy with them, they are an excellent build quality. Thanks again for all your assistance."
Ian, QLD
"Thanks so much for your email and for alerting me to the special offer. Yes, I would prefer the Razor if it is the same as the Diamond but just an older model for the $62 special. Thanks again for letting me know about this – I will definitely be referring my friends and colleagues to you for your efficient and honest service!"
NL, NSW
"Great service ordered Monday here Wednesday. The balanced cables made a BIG difference, sound is great. I hear more detail & sound stage. I was concerned things could get a bit harsh but it is so sweet out of my Primare pre now much better than the $$$ rca cables I have been using. I have done a few further tests with the cables against my other cables (IXOS) & cheaper as well as a set of Eichmann RCAs I had to test. I will be sticking to the Vortex & will be after a couple more when I sort out the rest of my gear & know what lengths I need. I have been having a few power amp problems (in twice to get fix in the last month & still there) that has slowed the final setup. The Eichmann were HARD on female vocal (they had “nose” problems) & didn’t add anything to the sound stage or detail as far as I could hear on my gear."
Noel Gain, QLD
"Let me just add also the service I received from Gregory was exceptional. I asked if I could have an extra 100mm or so in length extra from the metre cables that I ordered, because on your website I did not know if I could this or not. Anyway long story short the cables are perfect, the wife even though they were the nicest looking cables that she had seen, she quoted that it was a pity they had to be hidden. As for me, the cables made a massive difference to my viewing….. Many thanks once again and I know where my first stop shop for cables is now. I must add also that I was a first time buyer and was treated like a regular, now that is what I call service… Keep up the good work, a little thing like a 100mm extra on cable may not be a lot, but it was the good will of doing it and also not charging for it as well, which I think is great service.
Billy P, VIC
"I was quite impressed with the quality of the cables. I passed your details to my brother Shane who purchased a component cable a few weeks ago for his Bravia. The cables are well made and actually provided a richer (it seemed this way to me) picture than the standard cables provided from Sony. Look forward to dealing with your company in the future."
Jason Greenwood, WA
"Many thanks to you and staff of Custom Cables for processing the order and delivery of my video component cables so promptly."
Geoff, VIC
"I just want to thank you for all your time and trouble attempting to help me. Your advice is much appreciated and have implemented your suggestion as a temporary fix."
JG
"Thanks for all your help, I'll make sure to recommend you to friends & forum colleagues"
MB, NSW
"Received the HDMI cable yesterday afternoon. The cable is excellent, I could see the difference in quality from my component connection instantly. Good doing business with you."
Leonard, QLD
"Just a short note to let you know that the 10.5 metre Component video, 10.5 metre S-video and 10m HDMI-HDMI cables have worked perfectly for well over a year now. I was initially concerned about video quality over such long lengths, particularly the HDMI connection, but all have performed flawlessly. Thanks for supplying quality cables."
