That was my question to, I just bit my tongue, as I really don't feel like being flamed, but as the old saying goes Curiosity killed the cat.

First and foremost, a safely constructed cord, and UL listing.

Wow! I am shocked by how a well respected Member of the Trade is acting in this thread. Is this Head-fi or kindergarten?

In addition, are you saying that the free cables were inferior to the cable with the same name that you sell for money?

Hmm... this does raise a concern, do we know of any "audiophile" or "custom" cables that actually have UL listings?

 

[fraseyboy]

Well....

... I hope this thread doesn't hurt the resale value of my free Testament 2.0 if I happen to go down that route.

But I don't know I will though. Even if it's made of a garden hose, it manages to sound better somehow and isn't that all that matters?

As far as I am aware my Ironlong cable is ( Quail is the actual manufacture)

I think a moderator needs to get involved here. If this guy was giving away inferior cables as a giveaway like he says, they might be fire hazards. Does anyone have a list of who got the giveaway cables? They should be contacted so they can unplug the damn things until it gets sorted out.

Edit: I just dropped a line to the mods.

Indeed. Something tells me "I told you so" just doesn't cut it here. The lies, the deceit, the immaturity...

I've got a Quail power cord from the group buy a while back and I have an Iron Lung as well, both UL and CSA approved.

I was actually more interested in the custom built ones, something like ALO Audio, Moon Audio, the custom ones. I would certainly guess that the wire itself is spec'd above what it needs to do, but once you custom build it, it's another story. In this case, I don't think that any actually custom built ones actually get certified.

Yea thats the one thing thats kept me really from upgrading to a fancy boutique cable. Interconnects are one thing, but when it comes to Mains, I like to play it safe call me crazy

I just did a quick check on the giveaway thread. It says there were five cables given away. Were they all power cables? I am seriously concerned about the safety issue. Who were the five winners?

 

[fraseyboy]

Would there still be safety concerns for the digital cables though since they don't really connect directly to electricity or anything? Or maybe they do... Hmmm I'll unplug mine before I go to bed...

I was picked for a free cable. I refused the offer once they asked me to pay $90USD shipping for the "free" cable.

Im glad I didn't go for it.
