Nardin, What does your post have to do with Markl's review of the Oritek X-2? Have you heard the X-1, or X-2? There are plenty of other threads where you can post your opinion on cables in general. This thread is about the X-1 or X-2.

Maybe a better question might be, how do I know the Oritek X-2 will sound the same to my ears as it does to the OP.

The way you know this or not is by trying out the cable. Jeez. So many people talk back and forth all day about this and that with cables, but they do not bother to actually go through the sometimes painstaking process of critically auditioning. Honestly, whenever anybody gives me an opinion on a cable, I take it with a grain of salt. What those reviews do 'do' however, is to sometimes create enough interest to actually listen to them myself. Over the years I have built up personal experience with what I feel I am hearing with various cables...

...If you do not hear these differences (or do not want to), well I suggest you stick to the old adage: "Money Saved is Money Earned". Keep your wallet fat, and stay out of here.

Taking OP's opinion as you suggested, "with a grain of salt".

Thanks

After all, more flexible and much smaller cables would be very nice if they did indeed sound as good as my reference VD cables. Anyway, long story short, I completely agree with everything Markl has said. The X-2 came across to be a very warm, and melloe sounding cable. It had a very natural and polite sound. I can see this cable as a good choice for people who have a system that is slightly on the strident, or grainy side. Although it is true, this cable will not add lushness, but it does give off a very relaxed feel. Did it beat my VD's? Answer: I gave Ori back his very excellent X-2 cables. I will be sticking with VD it seems. Neil

Hi Neil,
Have you had the opportunity to audition the Sunny Cable Supreme line?
