Well okay, show off. But that's not even close to what I did. The foil covers a 2 foot section of the cable.
How come the connectors on that cable are different than the ones on mine? They look easier to deal with. Are yours older ones or a newer model to replace the existing ones?

If the OP hasn't closed it up yet can you remove the wires from the strain relief and see if the insulation has been broken through to the bare conductors?

Someone should volunteer to take this cable in, replace the wire and connectors with top quality units, refill the tube with a non-conductive material (I would feel much safer), and send it to someone who has a 6th Anniversary Power 3 for review (I would actually like to send it to Markl, I believe he would be the best candidate for neutrality).
I think there are a few proponents of VD cables here who could give an unbiased review. If I happen into any extra money anytime soon, I will order some parts and whip up this tasty acoustic delight myself.
Save your efforts, douche-bag.
Do a search of the on-line and print audio review mags, you'll be shocked to discover it's not just markl that likes these cables. You'll find a ton of glowing reviews, happy customers, etc. Their continued growth and expansion at the level they are (quite large for a cable company) is also indicative of a happy customer base that keeps coming back.

Wow the like one guy in the thread that defended you and said stop bashing you and the Chef for liking the cables you are calling a douche-bag? That is top rate!

That's totally uncalled for. I find it interesting how discussion has actually been pretty civil, up to this point.
Edit: You missed part of his post.

This post is entirely serious. Please don't rip this post apart.

No i didn't, but you missed this part of his post:
"Let's make an upgraded Power 3, we'll call it a 6th Aniversary (giggle-giggle), and send it to that rube, markl, who will surely love it because he's such a dupe, LOL."
"Oh, This post is entirely serious. Please don't rip this post apart."
Yeah, right.
Akathisia should apologize for that. If he does, I would consider doing the same.

I suggested you because your the only experienced cable reviewer we have here. I was in no way indicating that you are the only happy VD customer.
This is a perfect example of how bent out of shape people can get over misunderstandings on this site. I thought this was a place to share discoveries, not rip each other to pieces.
I refuse to apologize, I made no error or accusation and I have no spite or agendas in my posts in this thread.
I'll post pics of what Edwood requested, but after that I'm done with this thread.

I'm going to leave this thread alone and not delete any posts.
I would simply ask that we (meaning all parties involved as well as those that are not involved) agree to move on and get back to a productive discussion.
If there are any side discussions or apology exchanges that need to take place, I'd ask that you do so via PM. Should a happy ending result from that, then the lovebirds can report back about how they kissed and made up.
