The Cable Company - Wow

As someone who's been buying cable in the dark for years, I'm positively blown away with the Cable Company.

I purchased some Cardas Hexlink speaker cables through "UsedCable.com" (part of Cable Co.). If I bought them used from a private party, I'd be stuck - since they're definitely forgeries.

But since I bought through these guys, they sent me a whole box of cables (another pair of Cardas, Purist Audio, Goertz, Transparent Audio, Oval 9's). Paying only for the freight I was able to demo thousands of dollars worth of already burnt in cables to know what was right for me.

And yes, the new Hexlinks were night and day better than the suspected forgeries. But maybe just as importantly, the expertise you get from them is amazing. Tell them about your system, and what you're looking to achieve, and these guys really narrow down all the options to more of what you want and can afford.

All the cables sent to me were different, but on the money in terms of what I was looking for, and I could live with any of them.

I'm so impressed and amazed with them I've got to say auditioning or buying new or used cable through anyone else would be doing myself a disservice. There's absolutely no reason to buy cable by shooting in the dark anymore (as I've been doing for years).

Use these guys and take the risk out of the process.

Another very happy customer here.

Paul has been truly amazing in his insights with cables and interconnects as well as tweaks and equipment. Since the office is nearby, I've been able to run up there and borrow gear. The store rooms are amazing and there floors sometimes are littered with cool tubes, wires and what not.

Feel free to conatct them for more than just wires. I've gone through many power conditioners and other tweaks as my system has grown.

They get the highest marks from me.

I have a box of 4 different speaker cables enroute to me from the Cable Co. for listening tests. I'll be comparing these against each other and a set that I have on loan from another dealer. Although I have purchased used cables from them before, this is the first time I have used their Listening Library service. This really is a great service that they provide.

While I have used and recommended the cable company in the past and expect to use them in the future, I don't think any one should blindly follow their advise. Interesting how everyone I personally know has been recommended and sent the same MAS cables despite very different systems. Each of us liked them the least in out respective systems. Intersting that after being told that particular cables were no longer avialable, that a follow up call to the manufacturer produced the no longer available cables, and they were available for some time there after. Interesting that some very strong opinons about cables were contrary to the opinions myself and others. All in all a very good company offering a very good service.
