Hi Folks,
just wanted to share my own view of the recently bought B03 cable. And I must say it won't be that sweet and honey. In fact these cables are nothing! I.e. it's not that they are particularly bad but they just sound nothing, i.e. doesn't improve your sound at all. Don't bring clarity, improve sound stage and etc... For example, another cable from Ghentaudio for a similar price uses Canare L-2B2AT. This Canare cable in my local market here costs less than 1$/meter. Don't even think it will sound good for this price. It just have different qualities for professional use, i.e. durability and RF isolation. I thought Chinese OFC cable would be better... but it's not!
Pailiccs connectors are also not that good. Not very tight and copper connectors are not very well polished as well. I.e. there are scratches here and there underneath(!) the "gold" finishing.
But assembly quality is good, I agree here.
All in all, these cables are just not worth their money. For half of that price one might get a similar-sounding cable in their next-door retail store (i.e. philipps, vivanco gold series and etc...). You just need to select carefully. There's lots of crap as well. =)
I also see reviews here very often saying cable is sturdy... is that what you really value most when bying a hi-fi cable?
(i've been comparing my Ghentaudio cable to a Van Den Hull the First bundled with a good quality off-the-shelf 2xRCA to 3,5 TRS adapter)
You really expect CABLES to improve the clarity and sound-stage in some kind of really significant, noticable way? *snorts*
