Latest Customer Review
Mark,
I've spent last couple of nights amazed at the change the IC's made in my system. They are installed between my EAD Ovation Plus Pre-Pro and Hafler 9303 Transnova power amp.
I don't know if they're burned in or not, but right off the bat I could here a welcome difference.
It's as if a veil or two had been removed and I heard details that weren't as easily perceptible before.
Case in point, on one familiar recording (vinyl), there was a sound in the background that I was never able to clearly make out,
but after installing Your IC's it became clear as a bell, in fact it was a cowbell placed deep in the soundstage!
I've used other well regarded cables in my system before, but these have proven to be the most well, invisible.
They allowed the signal between preamp and amp to flow with the least amount of editorialization which is what a good cable should do.
I could go on with superlatives about how much I am enjoying my music now, but I'd probably end up with Carpal's tunnel.
Congratulations on a great product Mark! I'd would recommend it to anyone looking for a high performance cable at a price that's a steal.
And they're good looking cables to boot!

Review:

Hey Mark,
First of all I love these cables. from the moment i plugged them in i knew i was in for something special.
For virgin cables to sound better than my big buck thousand hour audioquest cables right out of the box is pretty amazing.
I already gave the other cables away! I am working up a list of what it is i need in regard to your power cables.
As it looks now i will be needing ten (10) 3" power cables.
Talk to you soon!

Customer Feedback:
I have a Mark Levinson no.37 transport that I "hot-rodded" and a Mark Levinson no. 36S DAC that I tweaked.
Over time I have tried many AES/EBU interconnects since the manufacturer recommends the AES/EBU balanced lines as their recommendation. I've tried many store bought hi-end and DIY interconnects and none were competitive with the AT&T St-Optical interface.
Note I said ST-Optical NOT TOSLINK. So I tried your ribbon cable in that spot. As it turned out, although the difference was dramatic, your ribbon cable gets the job done and is more musical and more transparent than the ST-Optical. And just when I thought I have a grasp of digital playback When does it end?! With the magnet on the AES/EBU digital interconnect the ST-Optical connection sounds flat by comparison! Before it was close call with the ribbon (digital application) sounding better. With the magnet installed it is no longer a contest.
I can switch back-and-forth while running a CD and made comparisons with different music and with so-called audiophile quality recordings.I can quite easily say without reservation or pause that you have a new market for your ribbon cable.I looked up the ribbon you use and it is primarily used for digital data and in my experience it does very well with audio digital data (which is more critical) -- better even than ST-Optical.Having said that -- you must be a very patient guy. I have made many a DIY cable and I know that your ribbon stuff must be a royal pain-in-ass to terminate that way. OH! By the way. The Nordost Red Dawn is a ribbon cable and compared to yours it is not even a contest. Or even Nordost Odin.
Cheers!
Walt
