Yes, it does have carbon fiber shells.

HDMI 1.4 capability

Now you are talking! What about the pull from the equipment space to the G90 for the new cable? Easy I hope!

Actually I won't be using the Platinum Starlight for the G90. I am using commercial grade 480mhz converters on both ends w/ six runs of cat 6, this enables me to push well in excess of 100gps w/ over 4000 lpi.

I also have no need to carry audio to the G90. Another tidbit, a Platinum Starlight in this length would cost more than my projector.

The reference length I saw was 8" long as will retail for approx $2000!

As usual, very well thought out! You also raise a very interesting point as to the cost associated with a 4K upgrade. Multiple Cat 5/6 runs can still do the job very well at much more reasonable cost!

This shall be the most expensive HDMI cable to date. I'm looking forward to some real world reviews in a few months.

Wireworld's Flagship $1,000 Silver Conductor HDMI Cable

Wireworld, which debuted the world's first upgrade HDMI cables in 2004, has introduced a new flagship HDMI cable that delivers the highest levels of performance the company has ever offered. The Platinum Starlight HDMI cable features molded carbon fiber connectors, the company's unique new 24-conductor DNA Helix™ design with solid silver conductors, and high-speed/high-bandwidth capabilities to meet even the most stringent system requirements - including the new HDMI v1.4 High Speed with Ethernet specification. MSRP for the Platinum Starlight is $1,000 for a 1.0 meter cable.

"Now that Blu-Ray players are the primary source for both movies and music in home theater systems," comments Wireworld President and founder David Salz, "the HDMI cable connecting the player to the system has become the most important audio cable in the entire system. The Platinum Starlight HDMI cable addresses the need to provide the highest possible audio and video fidelity in high end home theater installations."

The Platinum Starlight HDMI cable employs Wireworld's new, patent-pending DNA Helix conductor design, which uses 24 solid silver conductors -- double that of conventional HDMI designs -- arranged with an innovative symmetrical geometry designed to neutralize impedance variations at every point along the cable's length. These advancements maximize available speed and bandwidth for the signal path while also reducing noise and jitter effects for substantial overall improvements in signal fidelity and dynamic response. The cable is capable of transfer rates of up to 21 Gbits per second, far exceeding the HDMI group's recently announced v1.4 High Speed with Ethernet specification of 10.2 Gbits per second.

Platinum Starlight HDMI cables will be available in February of 2010 in lengths ranging from 0.3 meter to 30 meters. Retail pricing for a 1.0 meter cable is $1,000.

Wireworld Cable Technology, which was founded by renowned designer David Salz in 1992, is the premier provider of leading edge digital and analog cable technology for home audio and video, from HDMI and Displayport technologies to state of the art high-end interconnects and speaker cables. The company has an unmatched reputation for producing superior cables based on the use of objective perceptual testing, innovative patented designs, premium materials, and exceptional manufacturing quality.

David Salz from Wireworld just left my house here in Florida. I Demo'd my System for him & some of his employees.

Has "The Room" become WW's private demo room?
