I have not sold the line in years, but do know a couple of the key people. The ones I know are good and honorable guys, and I would do business with them again if I needed a line like this.

Great products and company. Plus the cables are based on real performance and not snake oil.

But the jury is still out on the battery thing. It's also one of the only lines where you can request poly bags instead of retail style claw shell packaging and using the poly bags saves you $1 per model in addition to the space and aggravation that you save compared to dealing with those clam shell packages.

Good product, my only gripe is that the single strand speaker cable tends to break easily during installation, and when used on things that are motorized.
The new range seems to be more fragile than previously.

I am a big fan of the new press on ends that only require you to strip the ends of the cable and not use the compression tool - keeps my carpal tunnel toned down a bit!

with all do respect... i had no idea that you had an experimental surgery to have your balls removed. |

audio cable company on the face of the earth. Maybe on their high end stuff, but their entry and mid level cables don't claim to be the be all end all of cabling, yet offer better performance and build than most any other brand I've found. Of course, for most installs I think the Proflex stuff is just fine.

Carl, I think most of the exotic cable brands make reasonably priced cables that work just fine. I still *personally* don't care to do business with any company that is based on snake oil. And that's what companies that sell $1000 interconnects are based on. Of course there are those who would disagree :-).

I'm with NuVision Mike. The ITC ends are great. No compression tool. Their 24awg mini coax is also very nice.

I vote for Audioquest too! they'll let you (as a dealer) try out any of their products for about 90 days on your showfloor so you can see for your self if they are worth it.
(We had their $900 Component vid cable (YIQ-5) Very nice!! and their $950 analog stereo pair (Cheetah) not such a big deal.)
Great Jewelry though... Pretty stuff
