NICE. I was really impressed with my Signal Cable AES/EBU digital cable. Very nice workmanship/quality.
Yea, I really like the build on these...and I *really* like the metal sleave...
But I dont get why the Analog II is blue...

Maybe so that when you look behind your equipment, you can pick certain cables out easily. Not sure...

My AES/EBU is dark blue.

My AES/EBU digital (awaiting it's Benchmark DAC1):
Now thats nifty looking right there...
Awesome!
I am really enjoying my Signals so far...even my sister heard a difference, particularly in the bass...
I could only grin...:p

I was really impressed...I'll be even more impressed when my DAC gets here and I can actually listen to the damn thing...LOL

lookin' good, guys! Frank's cable is getting more and more popular around here....I haven't try his silver resolution yet, any feedback on those?
The silver res is good stuff. Had the interconnects and wire for a brief period of time. Thinking about flirting with it again someday.
I'm so pissed...
I was adding the Signal Vs. Ethereal to my website and I deleted my Nordost review on accident *kicks self*
EFFFFFFFFF
That pisses me off, I'm gonna start saving all my reviews to my harddrive...

Never Mind.
Stupid Me!
I just saw it.
Thank You
Glad ya found it...
I will have some sound quality thoughts up after 50 hours of break in time on the signals, are the ethereals broke in??
Also...
How many strands of wire are in these XLR?

Why not post them here, like you are suppose to do.
I *do*...
I post a *link* to the review...
My reviews are long, and would take up several posts...
Last thing I want to do is add to my post count :rolleyes:
If you have a problem going to an external website to see a review, thats your problem...not mine...
I'll provide a link to the Ethereal review when I'm done, until then - yall can go to my site and read what I got...
Thats what I've been doing..
You sure are getting grumpy with your old age...;) :p

I read the review on your site, it wasn't that long. You're not that special, do it the way it was set up to be done or don't do it at all. That gumpy enough for you? :D
The Ethereal review isnt even done, I have FIVE more sections to do that will be equally as long as the sections up there now...
The Power Cable review wasnt long...
And I will not post them here, I might post the first section, then put a link but thats bout it man...
I started up a website because of yall and I'm using it...dun dun dun
(Yall booted me out of the showcase (understandable))

I am out in the field this week.
But, I will see if the office will send me the tech. drawing.
They have a lot of data that while not relavent to the average consumer, you might find of value.
You brought up some points that were major battles for us during the design process.
1. Cable diameter and tensil stiffness was an issue for the same reasons that you mentioned.
The marketing people felt that a thicker/stiffer cable would show a higher perceived value, I wanted thinner more flexable cable that would be easier to route. (I am still an installer).
2. Painted barrel was to match our RCA terminals (and the Parasound Halo gear). I thought/think that it looks good.
3. Cotton has two purposes.
A. It makes it easier to pull thru a bundle.
B. Looks good (everybody else was/is using tech flex).
BTW: Those cables have had no burn in, They are straight form the warehouse.
Did you also get the speaker cables to test?
Thank You for taking the time to do a thurough test and post your findings.
Nope, I didn't get the speaker cable - I was more so interested in the XLR, because I've never used any before...
Thanks for your thorough reply - and I agree with the easier to route thing, definetely is easier than the Signals, but i only have to two shelves of gear...hehe
If I had multiple shelves of gear, the Ethereals would be a godsend...hehe
How long do the ethereals need to be burned it? After the signals get burned in, I will burn them in...
I don't quite believe in burn in of cables - but, I would rather have both burned in and give them a fair comparison...
Oh yeah - thanks for any type of info your willing to give - I would definetely find that interesting...
And thanks again for supplying the cables to the program!

Sid,
you're gonna like the Signal Cables and your DAC. DAC's are great. You will notice some good improvement with the DAC. What kind of CD player will the DAC be hooked up to?

Sid doesn't have an external DAC.

That fancy jacket on steveinaz's cable looks like the same design on my knuconceptz cable.

I have a DAC?
Is there a box outside I missed? :p

I think he's talking about me.
Danger Boy:
It'll be a C.E.C. CD-3300 CDP connected to a Benchmark DAC1. See my system showcase.

Same here.
But... You never know.
I am told 20-30 hours.
I use mine at home right out of the package.
I did find the XLR's to be more revealing than the RCA,s on my system.
I called the office a few minutes ago about the tech. data, was told that they were busy (as if I wasn,t) and to call back later.
I will stay on top of this.
Thank You
Alright, cool - thanks for your help!
20-30 hours, gotcha...that'll be easier than the recomended 50 hours for the Signals...lol
