W and M Interconnects

Rarely do I feel compelled to say anything about products but purchasing these prompted me to let you guys know about W&M based in the U.K. First let me start by saying that you should not feel indifferent to my remarks here because I have no previous feedback. I have no feedback because I used to be a dealer and until recently I never really had a reason to purchase anything outside of the business. I have been a member for several years, logging on whenever I had free time. Now that I am in the market for some things there of course is no place to find better replacement equipment than Audiogon in my opinion. Having said this I must say that these are very fine interconnects. The quality and workmanship is some of the finest I have seen on any cable costing less than $1000 and better than many costing much more. I have not had the chance to hook them up yet but I can't wait to do so. For now, all I can hope for is that they sound as beautiful as they look... I have no worries that this will be the case either! The guys over at W&M know their stuff, always respond to emails in a timely manner (you will be greeted by a lot of “hi mates”, “cheers” and such with a lovely British demeanor that adds a sense of class and enthusiasm to the communications process) and are dedicated to quality and workmanship. Give em a try; I think you will be pleased. I can't wait to hear how they sound but I am currently faced with the dilemma of trying to decide if I should actually hook them up or just display them for all to see :-) If you are one of those people that leaves work early on the day your new cables are to arrive because you can’t stand the suspense any longer; you won’t be disappointed that you upset your boss when you open the extremely well packaged product.
Cheers

P.S. I am going to try and post this as a review under the cables section as well.

I’m sorry, I glanced through but did not bother to read your lengthy dissertation. However, I did nothing to tarnish the reputation of this cable company. My comments were directed at you, not them. For all I know they are the best cables in the world. My point was that your post did not provide a single bit of useful information regarding these cables.

The bottom line is this; recommending an audio component based solely on how it looks is like recommending a painting solely on how it sounds. An utter waste of time. If that is rude or harsh then so be it.

I’m actually quite surprised you took so much time to defend your recommendation when it is clearly indefensible.

Would you buy a car without driving it?
Would you recommend a restaurant without tasting the food?
Do you buy shoes without trying them on?

Of course not. This is no different.

Herman, Why don’t you take all that penned up energy and pompous, pretentious, supercilious, know it all demeanor, and put it into something a little more constructive like paying the measly $100 average price that the W&M’s are going for, listen to them for a while and write your own review. Maybe you can teach us all something. Either you will prove me wrong in my immediate assumptions, which it sounds is of the utmost importance to you, or you will get a heck of a good deal on a good audiophile quality cable and help out an up and coming company in the process. Think of it as charity work and the opportunity to educate those of us who don’t seem to be as fortunate to have the knowledge that you yourself make so readily available.

This is a bit like posting a movie review without yet having watched the movie, but rather because one found the producer and director to be very nice people who would answer any and all questions by a journalist and occasionally hook them up with a bit of scotch or a "real" beer. Nice fellows. Movie looks really terrific judging from the trailor and the posters. Producer and director are totally above board. Go see the movie. It's a great value and promises to be great. That's not a review. That's a walking info-mercial.

Sorry I stepped on your toes but I don't think you get my point. I'm not angry, I don't have any desire to "prove you wrong." I believe you when you say they appear to be well constructed. I don't know it all, in fact I know nothing about these cables. I don't care about the cables.

I merely pointed out that posting a review about how an audio product looks without saying anything about how it sounds is a waste of time. There is no need for further discourse if you are incapable of accepting the utter truth in this statement.
