So essentially I have 3 cables. the pre-wired one, a 3 foot one in the closet and a 3 foot one at the tv. Any chance that finding higher quality short ones could make a difference, or am I stuck?

My $2.25 HDMI cables work just as good with no 'sparklies' ( I assume you are referring to some type of picture distortion), as the 80 buck cables my brother bought at Futureshop.
I am guessing your cables or connections are either damaged or installed incorrectly. IIRC low voltage needs to be run perpendicular to high voltage in order to avoid interference. I am just randomly guessing though, it could be several things.
