I bought a new 3 into 1 HDMI switcher off ebay for £9.99 (plus £10 p&p thieving ).
I have 15m DVI to DVI lead plugged into it from my projector, via a DVI to HDMI adapter I bought for a fiver.
I have the Oppo plugged into it via the freebie DVI to HDMI lead provided with the player.
And my EP30 plugged in via the freebie HDMI to HDMI lead that came with it.
There's even room for a BR player when one comes out I like.
Now I reckoned shoving HD (or upscaled SD even) over a 15m cable with an adapter via a £9.99 switcher bought off ebay using freebie leads would be a disaster. I reckoned it would be the ammunition I needed to blow £400 on an Onkyo 606. But amazingly, it all works flawlessly. Several A/B tests with/without the switcher show no difference.
So, sound aside, can anyone convince me the HDMI switching on an AV amp will be an improvement?
