I use both of the Goertz cables mentioned on that page. I prefer them in my rig more than anything else I've come across.

[dorokusai]

They don't sound that great but that's just me.

I tried cables everyone swears by, Shotgun S1's, and IMO they didn't sound that great at all in my rig. The Goertz cables beat them without a doubt. If these Polk cables are anything like Goertz, they may work in my rig also.

Who's everyone? Just out of curiosity.

I'll compile a list for you and have it on your desk for you tomorrow.

[dorokusai]

Thanks. I'll compile the data into pie charts and graphs and we'll discuss it at the end of the week, mmmmkay? Yea, that's great.

I guess somebody thinks they sound good, one pair just sold on ebay for over $300

without rereading threads, i believe those polk cables needed to be used with some caution, somehow frying amps if something was done wrong, can't remember what it was to watch for off the top of my head, but i remember something being an issue.

Doro, you remember off the top of your head or am I nuts here?

[Face]

You're correct, I've read the same thing a few times.

I believe it was receivers or low end amps though.

It's a bunch of wires and not the easiest animal to "terminate". One crossed wire and you have some issues.
