If I wanted to listen to classical, Jazz, chamber music, blues, acoustic music, vocals etc.. the 18G modded 701s are simply not touchable. For hip hop rock funk I would probably would go with the E9s but not always.
I will have a pair of the 18G 701s at my table for people to try, perhaps an extra pair if someone whats to borrow them for a while.
I am sure I will get some people who will bash me for the price tag (I am use this it is nothing new for me) and I am not too concerned about that. People are free to go and buy a Stefan AudioArt cable for less. I only ask that people not bash me or others for the price issue, its all relative and this hobby is not cheap. I want to make the best gear I possibly can regardless of the cost of material and time it takes to assemble.
Thanks

Ken,
Even though I am one of the guys who have a difficult time on faith taking that type of serious plunge. I would need 20 foot as you may recall my previous contact.
I am looking forward to meeting you at CanJam, seeing your work, and tasting your new creation. I'm sure it will be busy and noisy that weekend, but if it's as great as you say and I hear, I might be up to a borrow or trial deal.
