Damn, they use cheap OFC and charge that much? Oh well, it's voodoo magic in there, that's the secret ingredient. The Voodoo magic will increase bass impact! Ridiculous.

That's why DIY is so fun. You can actually know what is going into your cable. With pre-made You can see on the outside whether the connectors ar Neutriks or Switchcraft or whatever but you never know whats really under the nylon braid or tech-flex. After all, They all say that thier cable is the purest OFC available.

I appologize, as I think I'm the one who first took off on the cable tangent. I was frustrated with the "glamour Quotes" the high end cable sites were "Snake Oiling" thier wares with. Once we get into Ultra-pure and cryo, I think the law od deminishing returns starts kicking in.

x2

$260 for a cable that uses a $8 switchcraft plug and a $4 neutrik plug and copper wire that is worth no more than $1 a foot x 3 conductors (I can get UPOCC 24ga for 30 cents a foot, bztches) We're at $30.

Stefan does brag an awful lot. I'm sure they use pretty generic OFC, but they do zealously clean their conductors and such before and after soldering, that probably helps.

The Voice $1400 cable from them looks like dirty shoelaces.

Mmm, shoelaces.

And I think you're a MotT with no tag, talking down a product in direct competition with your own.
