This is your opportunity to get $10,000 speaker cable performance for a fraction of the cost. There aren't many products on the market that cost this much less than the benchmarks that actually outperform the likes of Valhalla.
    Many high end speaker cables create the illusion that they are revealing details that other cables are missing or veiling. By engineering cables to place an emphasis on certain "edge" frequencies that make higher frequencies pop out this throws off the natural and true tonal balance. Finding a truly neutral cable is the first step towards being able to hear what is or isn't going on with the other cables and components in your system. If the speaker cable is coloring the signal it's pretty hard to tell what other things are happening and where the coloration and distortion is coming from.
    Knowing which order to audition and make comparisons to wire in a system can be a real catch-22. If you do a bunch of comparisons on interconnects before upgrading speaker cables and decide on a clear winner, you make a choice without really being able to hear the super low level details that might be hiding harshness or edginess. Then you get a higher end speaker cable and because it is more transparent you'll be hearing that harshness and edginess you couldn't hear at all with the inferior speaker cables you had. Most people will arrive at the conclusion that it's the speaker cables that are the crap, and they are completely wrong.
    The key here is to start with a known entity that has ultimate levels of transparency, yet is perfectly neutral. Once you have that everything you hear upstream from there is exactly what it is without any coloration added by that speaker cable. Now when you start with a cable like Valhalla it might be too much because it is emphasizing edgy harsh upper frequencies that hurt your ears. This cable, because it is so neutral, can allow you to hear these faults coming from the interconnects without them being blown off the far end of tolerance.
    I've been selling this cable off and on for several years now, mostly on Audiogon, always with a money back guarantee. Not one single person to date has ever asked for their money back. At first I would hold my breath when audiophiles with $100k systems and $10k speaker cables were trying it, but it quickly became apparent that this is better in side by side comparisons. Now in some systems there might be a preference for the coloration that another cable has, but this is the true reference for a transparent cable that does nothing but sound natural, and that used as a reference can help you identify interconnect coloration that might be changing the sound a bit too much.
    It's been awhile since I used Audiogon, and there are new seller rules that make it harder for me to just give contact information so we can talk. The normal procedure here would be for me to state the price per foot, tell you how much you'd need for say an eight foot set (x4) so you would need 32 feet, or 40 for a ten foot set, and multiply by the per foot price. The price on cable length sets will be $20.00 a foot, or $640 for 8 feet, or $800 for 10 feet. I'll explain bi-wire and shotgun use in the ad for an 8 foot set, along with some other cable logic information.
    This is a military grade cable that the government spent ludicrous amounts of money developing, and for those projects that use it, it costs well over $250 a foot. I tried to see about getting it manufactured for me and was told it would cost at least $50 to $70 per foot, and that I'd have to order at least 50,000 feet, but that there would be no way for them to check whether they had replicated the voltage loss or zero field effect distortion. So when the last 2000 feet or so I have left is gone it's gone. I have never seen any cable that has the build complexity or manufacturing care that this has.
    The reason 100 feet makes sense is that it is great for interconnects with Eichmann silver bullet RCA plugs, they cost about $180 a set. They also make fantastic power plugs by using one cable per polarity doubling up the two conductor wires. The cable is good enough that as you try different high end plugs you will notice a huge difference in them, it's a lot of fun to try different ones to see what works best. Two six foot power cords would use 36 feet. The other thing I've seen when people buy this cable is that they have friends that want a set right off the bat when they hear them. Half the buyers have contacted me within a week or two wanting another set for a friend or second system.
    I do have the ability to run a credit card through my wife's veterinary business, but she wants the card fees paid for, I think she's adding 3% to cover that. Shipping is $15 for Priority. I'll be putting other sized sets up so that we can talk and set the exact amount needed. Audiogon's fees are based on a sale, not the amount of the sale so buying a three foot set and telling me you want an eight foot set is the same thing, they just want to get paid for each sale.
    Buy this cable with confidence, read the feedback that has been posted, it is what it is. Guys have gotten this cable, and even immediately listening and comparing have said it smokes their cable even before it's broken in.

Cable Sense 101

    System synergy and the role cable plays has a logic to it that is completely counter intuitive to what you might be hearing and the logical order to compare upgrades. It took me a lot of time and hard work to figure some things out, not to mention literally millions of dollars worth of equipment.     There are a couple of raging arguments concerning the role cable plays that will never end, and many people that have been in the audiophile industry or hobby for decades may not get some things right. I'll go through the logic behind the signal path and the importance of the order of the process from the source, to the preamp, to the amp, to the speakers. Source to preamp is IC1, preamp to amp is IC2, and speaker cable.       IC1 is the most critical cable, it will make far more difference to have a higher performance, more transparent cable here than any other place. There is a couple of reasons behind that. First is that the signal is far weaker than the signal from the preamp to the amp is. This is a signal that has all of the infinite details and resolution, the nuances that define air and space, textures from different materials like a kick drum pad makes with sheepskin versus rubber, a higher degree of decay from a guitar revealed with an ultimate cable versus an entry grade. This is where audiophile character lives, in the tiniest low level details.       A cable's resolution has two key parameters that could be measured on a performance scale. The strength of a signal that it is capable of getting to the next component in terms of amplitude, and the frequency that will get there in the same exact frequency it started off with. If the tonal balance is off it's because certain frequencies are not getting through the cable exactly as it was input. That is heard as coloration and a tonal balance that is not in true perspective. One instrument might be overshadowing others if one is being emphasized and others are being lost. Fragile details will be elusive or gone entirely while, while other instruments might be in your face.       This is because the very weak signal and all it's detail needs to be amplified and made more robust by the refined quality required of a preamplifier. a preamp is refinement, the amplifier is about horsepower. So if we have a scale of 100, and an entry level cable loses the upper 10 or 15 degrees on the scale with signal strength, that is all of the most critical detail that defines the way the music has depth and ambience, it's gone. Then on the accuracy scale if the cable isn't doing a very good job of tonal character, this is going to change the way horns, voices, and percussion sounds. The extra layers of detail a power cord might be capable of lives in the ranges that are lost with lesser cable, the system does not even know that information was ever there.     More important than a loss of signal strength or tonal accuracy, is the fact that this is the signal that will be delivered to the preamp, good or bad, it is what it is. The preamp will be amplifying the signal that is input substantially, so an edgy sound will be amplified as well. If the most detailed lowest level 15% of the signal is gone, it did not get through the cable to the preamp at all, It's gone, I've pissed a few people off when they try to defend the notion of a $10k preamp being more important than high performance cable. A decent modestly priced performance leader with fantastic cables that cost more than the equipment does will have a substantial edge over tens of thousands worth of components with entry grade inferior cables, PERIOD. The proving point here is that a preamp is a highly refined amplifier, it can only amplify the signal that is input. No matter how good a preamp is it is only as good as the interconnect and source. There is no preamp that fabricates and makes up a detail that wasn't input.       IC2 is the preamp to amp, the refined and beefier signal from the preamp goes to the amplifier where the serious signal strength is happening. The same dynamics hold true with one important distinction, the amplitude is not nearly as crucial because a much stronger signal is being sent through the cable, even the finest details are stronger to where they will get through more intact than the weaker but more detailed signal has to get to the preamp. Accuracy is still very important, so a cable that is still neutral is needed, but a lesser degree of transparency will not lose tiny details to the same degree. For people looking for a cost/performance edge I have set people up with the best interconnect in the IC1 position, and a mid grade neutral for the IC2, leaving more money for speaker cable of power cords.       Speaker Cables, many audiophiles as they stretch into better and better cables do things backwards. They will compare quite a variety of interconnects using very weak speaker cables, the ones they started with, the logic being that they will compare speaker cables after finding what they think is the best interconnects they have heard (in their system). A couple things are going to happen here. The comparison work was a total waste of time if it is known that speaker cable will be addressed later. It makes no difference how good IC's sounded in any given system configuration if something is going to be searched for later that is so profoundly dependent on the interconnects. The higher the resolution of the SC's the more details you are going to hear that you had no way to know was even there.       Here's what happens, and it is the logical conclusion based on reasoning skills. Work was done comparing interconnects, when one was found that clearly sounded best, the search is over, you are happy believing that this is the best interconnect in a price range. Enter a set of $10k speaker cable, perhaps you get a screaming deal on it from another guy that found it not to be to his liking (some of these cables can be appalling because they over emphasize all the edginess and harshness coming from the IC's. The logical conclusion when speaker cables make the system hurt your ears is that these speaker cables are nasty. If they are newer, even if demos from a store, they may not have the necessary 300+ hours needed to get them through their nasties and settle in, they will sound really bad then.       I can tell you what a lot of dealers will say when you report back on how bad these cables sound, I've heard it and so have a lot of other people. Your system isn't good enough for these cables. Most dealers sell components and speakers over cables. I sell cable upgrades over components, and the improvements even on modestly priced equipment is staggering.       Don't let the price point on these cables mislead you, They go head to head with ten thousand dollar class cables, and do it in a way that few can do in a neutral way. These will not help create edginess like many will, they are smooth and natural sounding. They do have the ability to reveal things you didn't know were going on with interconnects though.     I am listing some other sets with very good bananas and spades. I sell Furutech, Oyeide, Eichmann, and Acrolink cables and terminations. I am currently doing listening comparisons of some of the best cables and terminations on the market. This military cable is performing stunningly against some of the most expensive bulk cable on the planet. I have it priced well under it's performance value as compares to bulk cable that costs as much as $450 to $600 per meter, this stuff is a true bargain, and works superbly for speaker cables, interconnects, and especially power cords. It's all in the terminations as the wire is good enough to warrant the very best. See my add on a Furutech terminated set, I used the best carbon fiber resonance damped bananas and spades, these cost $225 a pair for bananas and $180 a pair for spades.     I want to apologize for the last ads I ran a few weeks ago, I had over ten people interested, many of the people wanted terminated sets, which I was not set up to do. Trying to make it happen I kept finding things I didn't have and just plain wasn't set up to do. I nded up pulling the plug on the people I was dealing with rather than stress out over delays and technical problems. I spent a ton of money on all of the array of shrink tubing, braided mesh for jackets, a soldering station, precision heat guns, hot knife, ratcheting crimpers, precision jacket cutters, etc. I made myself several demo sets of cable for comparison work and to work out technicalities of assembling different cables.     I am ready to get right on making up any configuration you need.
