Silent Source cables-Need advice regarding customer service or lack of--

Guys- to make a long story short- I purchased the Music Ref. cables from Frank Dickens- After a week of emails and no responses he finally sent them after I was about to cancel my credit card- Great Cables- I just broke an RCA and Frank said to send it back- I overnighted them and have heard nothing since- I even wanted to purchase a longer length- Finally after a few weeks he emailed and said his computer cratered but would get to my cable by the end of the week- that was 2 weeks ago and still has not returned any of my many emails- i needed this cable back for X-mas holidays- Any suggestions as to what to do- It is very disappointing after spending many thousands of dollars with someone and wanting to possibly spend more to have zero communication in almost a month and around 10 email requests- I really hate to write this type of post but really need some advice as I want my cable back - thanks for the advice and have a Happy Holiday to all!!!

As above- jmcgrogan2-

for any queries/issues reach out and touch John Fort. He works very closely w/ Frank.

It is good to read that you have discovered SS cabling. I was thoroughly impressed w/ these cables/power cords during my visit w/ John Fort Audio about 2 years ago. During my listening sessions, Silent Source (SS) does play very well w/ other brands, more on target with, Wireworld and Signal Cable, as one can mix and match to taste.

Happy Listening!

It is good to read that the ARC and Pass Labs are sonic matches.

No doubt that the REF5 SE is the best tubed pre-amp at this juncture, while Pass Labs, is the best solid-state currently.

I haven't looked into this, as I was under the impression that ARC was only offering that upgrade for a limited time.
I'll have to check with ARC to see if they still do it.

I'm sure that ARC would argue that their Ref 6 is better than the Ref 5SE.
You know ARC, I'm sure the 6 SE will be out in another 6 months. ;^)
