Hey Larry
Is that shag?
Thanks for the input! and photos.
Note that the SXC Cryo 18awg also sports a gold plated mini plug and brass handle, black. These are IMO the best mini plug ( Switchcraft 35HDBAU) sold today for our applications used for small portable amplifiers VS the Canare F-12. I also feel that the sound of the Cryo X Silver and the new ALO SXC Cryo is quite similar, very happy about this because they both are doing what I wanted them to do in terms of sound performance. I have
lowered the price of the Jumbo Cryo X Silver because I feel that the new ALO SXC Cryo 18g simply has a performance based value that is greater than that of the Jumbo Cryo X Silver -> superb sonics, iTouch/iPhone and backwards compatible with ipods, gold mini plug, a physically softer and more flexible cable = takes the mantel of best ipod line out dock.
