Have You Tried Cabledyne Interconnects?

I think one of the partners was from Purenote Cables. The cables bare quiet a resemblence to some of their models IMO. I always liked Purenote.

here is what i would do. see if any of the cable products are selling on audiogon.

then decide if if the outlay is worth the risk of dissatisfaction with cable.

hopefully, if this occurs, you can sell them for a small loss.

also, if the manufacturer has a home trial program, you have more protection, in case you return the cable. your loss would consist of shipping cost and a possible restocking fee.

I saw this in another forum regarding Cabledyne. Does anyone know if this is true?

"Cabledyne is one of many cable companies who sell fake Chinese upocc/single crystal wire. The prices are ridiculously low, there is no way that wire could be produced using the OCC process.

Just so everyone knows, OCC process has been licensed to 3 companies worldwide, and if the product info says "single crystal" without mentioning "OCC" or "Ohno Continuous Cast", then it is most likely a fake as the OCC claim is copyrighted internationally.

Neotech has tried to get these fly-by-night Chinese companies shut down with little to no effect.

Even worse, some companies built their reputation using Neotech wire, then switched to the fake Chinese stuff, effectively duping their customers into buying an inferior product while keeping prices high. "

Here are the facts from Cabledyne founder Ed Bowman:

Cabledyne states on their product pages: "Cryo 6-nines purity solid monocrystal square wire: Continuous Directional Solidification process (similar to OCC) offers incredible detail and clarity." The keyword is "Similar" to OCC.
