I have NO idea as to where to find these specific cables on the street. I stumbled across them when going through a catalogue from one of my RF distributors. Since they were quite reasonable in price, i ordered several different designs that they offered and tried them out. While a few designs were decent, the one specific cable works wonders on reducing / minimizing "Glare And Sibilance" ( GAS for short ). As such, i labled these "GAS Busters". They also help most SS systems to sound warmer and measurably more "musical".
As a favor to some other folks that were having similar "gas" problems and made them public : ) i ordered a few extra sets and sold them at MINIMAL mark up ($20 for a 3' pair / $30 for a 6' pair). Some of these folks ended up replacing Silver cables that cost hundreds of dollars with these "cheapies". While i'm NOT saying that these cables are "killer" or a "cure all", they do HELP until you can get things dialed in a little better.
As to Leafs' comments, there is NO such thing as a neutral cable. Every cable presents a different load to the source and their sonic signature will vary due to different equipment combinations and their associated impedances. While it is obvious that some cables work MUCH better in specific systems than others, those "good" or "neutral" cables sometimes fail miserably in other systems. I do understand where your coming from though and basically agree with your comments / train of thought.
Unfortunately, sometimes we end up buying "good" gear that just doesn't blend well together. With the amount of money that one might have tied up in a system, it would be pretty disappointing to not want to use it because it sounds so poor or less than one had hoped for. I would rather "band aid" the system with some cheap "flavoured" cables and enjoy it in the meantime rather than let it sit and rot until i could afford to make major component changes. Know where i'm coming from ??? Sean
