Default best?

How can you call them best when they're actually no better than say the cheap gold plated ones at radioshack for $4?

Makes me wonder, the stores selling these cables charter buses that pickup loads of people from the retard home? I've heard of salesmen that sell those sorts of cables saying stuff like "if you put this particular digital clock here in your room with your system, it cleans up the hash noise and your music will sound smoother... I swear, I bet those salesmen could sell a fresh pile of pig poop to a pig farmer.

HA! OMG that is a rediculous site! Get this:

"You can be assured that your digital signal we be free from Electromagnetic Interference (EMI/EMC) for the purest data stream."

Now here's the funny part, they're talking about an OPTICAL cable! PFFT, what kind of idiot could believe that? Even if they do make some great cables, I wouldn't want to buy ANYTHING from company that tolerates blatantly lying to customers. Maybe the site was put up as a joke perhaps? I'll look some more, see if the date it was posted was April 1st...

Well, I do have to admit their prices seem very reasonable compared to other supposed high end cables. (on what I've looked at so far)

"The patent hollow oval design ensures all the music from the microphone reaches the amplifier."

Oh, is that why some of the notes are missing from my CD, because I'm just using regular copper wire?


"Low loss TEFLON dielectric is used for fast transients."

And, of course, if you use regular Teflon it would slow down the electrons too much, right?

It is hard to tell, but are you being facetious or serious?

Default I am truly sorry

the ones I can come up with are
Wireworld cable
Cryo Silver Reference
Valkyrja

however there is a cable on the market that is filled with some kind of liquid - they look like the plastic hoses between an aquarium and a waterpump , they have connectors (gold/silver and some oxide) on each side, treated with some special process in order to avoid corrosion and they were pretty hefty in price (a few $100 per feet if my memory serves me well)
only custom made ofcourse and lead time was 8 weeks....

After reading that statement on the website I have bought some 50 ft of aquarium tube (3/8"D) at 8 cts /ft and it is still laying here....
not finished with that project! ( it is now about 52 weeks for me !

for Critofur

because it doesn't directly turn criticisms to analysis?
they is their engineers can answer to his/her questions.
I use the cables Analysis, they play very well and they cost suitable.
I am satisfied with cables Analysis.

Default hmm

Well, I seriously can't believe that a company is talking about EMI in regards to a digital OPTICAL cable.

I was being sarcastic in some of my comments. Sorry if it was upsetting, I just couldn't believe what I was seeing, over the top beyond rediculous.

Talking to people that have been in the business of selling/designing/testing speakers for 30+ years they'll tell you "ask someone what kind of cables he uses, if he tells you about some expensive brand then you can just ignore whatever he has to say because it will mostly be crap". Now I don't quite think that's true, but he has a lot more experience than me.

Valter,

It looks to me that they do sell decent cables, and their prices are not terrible like many audiophool cables are. Some of the claims they make on their website are foolish though.

Sorry I was a little bit harsh, that vendor is not nearly as bad as many others, it just drives me crazy to see how places rip people off selling super expensive cables that are really no better than moderately priced good quality cables.
