High fidelity REVEAL interconnects

For $699 HF costumer service, said it can compete with the Odin, apparently this cable is available for shipping a week before Christmas?      Agoners any opinion?

I've been listening to the Reveal IC for the last 2 days and was very pleased with what I've heard so far.  The sound improvement (from top to bottom) was significant right from the very beginning.  I noticed it being very detailed, clear, and dynamic.  The soundstage got bigger and better with richer and fuller sound.  My system now sounds more open, musical, and lively than ever before.  The biggest improvement in my system was the bass.  I did not know I was missing so much on the bottom end before Reveal.  The bass I got from Reveal was deep, tight, and fast.  I was looking for anything that's bright, thin, or edgy, and there were none.  My system: Endeavor E-3 Mk2 speakers, Plinius Hautonga integrated amp, Ayre Codex dac, TWL SC, HF Reveal IC,  Anticables 3.1 USB.

In the next few days I'll give the cables my second listen in order to make a decision. Below my system:
Squeezebox Touch with EDO, Welborne Labs PSU
USB REGEN
Resolution Audio Cantata
Gryphon Diablo
Evolution Acoustics MicroOne

Cables:
USB: Light Harmonic (Lightspeed)
Power Cables: Douglas Cables (Mirage, Silver Purple), ASI (Liveline)
IC: Douglas Cables (Hair Angel, XLR)
SC: Douglas Connection Alpha with CF plugs

My system is very fast, detailed, neutral and balanced. It is not analytical, since there is an overall cohesion, however texture, timbre and colour are areas that need improvement. I listen to classical, jazz, vocal and pop, mainly. I also use my system to evaluate and consult on post-production (mixes and masters).
First listening sessions with the Reveal are not in line with other first impressions, but I'm giving them more time, since cables normally need a decent amount of time to burn in.

I agree Reverendo, I usually give them six days to settle plus the burn in time.with my adapters HF in six days they did improve a lot...

Anyone have an update on the speaker cables. I am thinking of using them when I bi-amp, for bass. Already have HFI on my single run.

Reverendo- I also have a Cantata cdp and tried the Reveal interconnects (RCA) from it to the preamp and the results are absolutely STUNNING - from the second cd onward.  They replaced some very expensive (RCA)interconnects that I was perfectly happy with until I tried the Reveals several weeks ago.  The Reveals were the only change made at the time, so I am positive nothing else can be the cause of such a significant improvement in sound quality.  Now my reference cables are taking up space in my closet while I happily listen to music with the Reveals in place.  Good Luck!
