Hello, I am trying to find in-akustik reference air (RCA) cables here in the US. Any ideas where to find those? (google didn't help).
Thanks!

I got in contact with a (the) dealer in Canada. They worked with me to get my cable.

Their brand of cables always looked really pretty visually and well engineered, their power conditioner interior looked very simple/basic on the surface, so that made me a bit hesitant/unsure of them. What is your experience with the brand?

I can't afford their power conditioners, but I like their modular design in which you can "customize" the power conditioner according to your requirements (audio/video, digital or analog only). In terms of simplicity, from what I understand, a power conditioner should be a couple of capacitors and coils. No fancy chips or circuit boards should be required. I have a Furman power conditioner (mid-level) with a bunch of capacitors and one coil.

I haven't received the cable yet, but according to my pre-purchase research, I expect it to be on the upper end of the spectrum.

Update after you receive cable, they definitely look beautiful and the company seems to be well funded. Goliath.

The cable is indeed high quality. I have no way to test or measure, but I hear an improvement. It is so thick that it is hard just to replace an existing cable. I needed to re-route it, and I made supports to not stress the RCA connectors.
The cable comes well packaged, with individual measurements for each cable, and feels well made. As I mentioned, it is thick but not stiff. The instructions state that you should not squeeze the cable; it feels soft when you apply tangential pressure.

Wow, almost didn't fit the Yggdrasil!

I am probably the only one using the Yggdrasil single ended

My Pass Labs HPA-1 would beg to differ.
