Massive pics post!
A huge thanks to Peter for putting on the Halloween contest again this year... not too often that you run into somebody in the audio industry willing to go to such great lengths regarding conducting giveaways for their fans. I was fortunate to be the winner of the Goliath, pictured
here... well, as it turns out, that is by no means a misnomer. This thing is
massive... in fact, I have it from Peter himself that he doesn't commercially produce any 16-wires, so this is truly a rare DHC custom piece! Awesome
Quick rundown on specs: 16-wire, semi-flat braid, Peptide OCC copper litz for with Audez'e connectors and a 4-pin XLR. Also, did I mention that it's
enormous?
Enough talk, it's cable-pr0n time:
A little overview
Curves
It's a little hard to get a sense of size from the photos, so here's the Goliath next to my DHC 8-wire Macromolecule:
Actually dwarfs the Macro!
Down the barrel of a loaded gun.
An up-close glimpse at the splitters.
Down the tracks.
As per the contest page, you really could strangle a zombie or two with this thing. Which, as demonstrated in my posts a few pages back, happens to be exactly what I'm looking for in my audio gear!
The only tragedy of this story is that erm... Well, I can't exactly put it to use yet, as my current system is single-ended D: However, I'm hoping to move towards balanced across the next few months (maybe Mjolnir/Gungnir if I'm sticking with Schiit stacks? Or do I wait on Schiit statements...), so hopefully the Goliath can get some playtime sooner rather than later. Till then, it makes a nice self-defense weapon. Thanks again Peter!
