Hello again!
Frank from Blacksheep Kable here. One of DIYaudio.com members gave me a great idea. Will it work, we'll see...
I am going to send out 3 or 4 of our cables to DIYaudio.com members who are interested. I think there are enough of us out there that it will work.
I will track who they are being sent to on this thread. They can hold them for a period of time (not sure how long yet. suggestions welcome). After that period of time, they ship them to another member and so on. I have already sent out samples and it cost about $5 to ship them.
The real question is will this work or will they only make it so far? That's up to you!! If you are interested, you can e-mail your mailing address privately, I will only post you member name unless you give me your real name. I will not post you address.
I suppose this will also end up where most of the feedback will come to as well. What do you say Andrea? You asked if they are as good as they look?

It's ok. Please don't count me in for testing them though; unless you are feeling so generous as to let me keep them after my testing 😛
Sorry, replied on the other thread. Yes I am feeling generous. I will send you a RCA interconnect. If you ever get to sending them out, np, if you keep it, I hope you like it and let me know. Thanks for the wonderful idea.

OK folks, I'm sending an RCA interconnect to Andrea. She is unfortuantely in Italy so I don't think these will be circulating around much.
Looking for DIYaudio.com members in the US.

Some questions, that might help and sell.
1) are you offering different color patterns ? ie just white and red or red & black.
2) Different lengths ?
3) Better ends ?

Hey Jase,
You are right, Andrea may be a man. For some reason I thought she was a woman. Andrea? What to clear this up?
Jase, your cables will be going out on Monday.
Currently we are offering Black, white, and red only for interconnects and speaker cables. Our AC power cord is all black and currently our XLR cable we're working on is black and white. In the near future, we are changing the RCA & Speakers to black and red. I think the white is too much.
1 meter for the interconnects. 2 meters for the speaker (4 meters total). 1.5 meters for the AC power cord and the XLR is currently 1 meter.
Not offering better ends yet.

The Europeans
Hi Igor,
Tell you what. I am only in the US until the end of January. If there is a good response to having a cable test in Europe, you will be the first one to get a pair.
So let's here from the Europeans, any interest across the pond?

You might want to also offer custom length's for the Interconnects' i get asked that alot because some people like to put there amplifiers / other pieces further apart.
The interconnect cables could also be 2 colors instead of 3, it might look a little nicer, ( just my $.o2)
The speaker end's might have problems, but i will try them when i can get a set from you, i had a set for my self and found that the soft ends shrunk and they would always come loose. I have solution for that tho.
Might want to also put your name of company on the cables, using some kinda plastic paper with your name printed on then with clear heat shrink over top to keep clean, maybe a serial number too, just for tracking and warrantee purpose.
I have other ideas, but no email's are coming back from you 🙂

Our first demo interconnect...
Ok. We have our first volunteer!!
Thanks to diyaudio member IGWT somewhere in Minnesota. I'll be sending you the Blacksheep RCA interconnect right after the weekend.
Since the cable isn't burnt, we are going to give him a month and a half or so to test them out and let us know what he thinks.
After IGWT is done testing them, I will e-mail an address for where they will head to next. Then we'll post who and where they are going next and so on...
If you do want to keep them for yourselves. I will offer a 50% discount. We do have costs.
Thanks again. I hope others are interested! Europeans have got to let me know. Asia, Canada, Antartica?

Patience is a virtue..
All current demos, including yours Jase, will be heading out Monday when USPS. Now, I hope you know it's right before X-mas and the USPS is filled with lots of people and very long lines. I will be there with them sending you your samples. I am a man of my word.

I am certainly interested. Upto now I have made my own using spc usually in simple twisted pair geometry.
I undertake to post them on to Anywhere really, not just Europe (although that's where I am). I also have a good number of audiophile friends who can give non-DIY point of view.
I'll send a pm with my address.....

Good morning all!
Thanks Fran for the interest. It seems that when I go back to Bangkok, I will start a free European demo. We can braid a European power cord no problem. But you'll have to wait until the end of January early February. And don't worry Igor, haven't forgotten you as well!

Shipping of interconnects
Hi,
Just checked my inventory here. I realize I only have 1 interconnect. The rest are down in NJ. I will be back there on the 26th of December.
The 1 interconnect I do have will go out tomorrow to Jase in Canada.
1 interconnect is being shipped out from Bangkok to Andrea in Italy.
For IGWT in Minnesota, I'll send your when I get down to NJ.
Today the NJ Audio Society meets. I sent them a set of interconnects and speaker cables to have them take a look and test them out. Will have some feedback in about a month or so.
Europe will happen when I head back to Bangkok.
Again, if you are interested in testing the interconnect out, just drop me an e-mail with you mailing address and I will send a set out. Will send out a total of maybe 5 in the US and let them circulate.

is that one interconnect pair or just a left/right ? If it's just a single send it to some one else.
