    Hehehehe:D , it is kind of a long wait isn't it? I was going to wait for the first couple of guy's review and base my decision from there but, each person has diff. taste of what is good and what is not. No biggie, I am willing to seat back and wait for my turn in four months :( .

    Dorokusai,

    Just to let you know the cables arrived this morning. I saw the box when I got home. Can't wait to try them! Wife is suspicious, she thinks I'm up to something...

    regards

    Dave - MUHUHUHAHA....the evil experiment has begun. What was the duty charge? Anything? I am really excited that this has started, have fun playing around.

    Dcarlson wanted to know the cross border estimate....and it looks like <$10 including USPS Global Priority Mail...cool.

    Master - I apologize for the long wait, but if you really were thinking of SC....they have a money back guarantee...so you can't lose either way. You could try the very set that's out for demo for around $60, or just wait a little longer, it will be time before you know it. Let me know what you decide, for now I will add you to the roster. Thanks for being interested.

    Hi dorokusai,

    No duties, cleared customs with no problem. I think we'd be good with a declaration up to $40 usd or 60 cdn so long as it is a gift.

    I am thinking about getting a SC Power Cable upgrade for demo and launching it alongside the other SC demo. Or would you rather have the Audioquest demo begin early? I am flexible.

    Would you Polkie's be interested in the testing the waters on the power cable argument also?

    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    Polkatese - You also! I hope I get my two front teeth for a present :) I am a redneck you know.... :D

    What are you wishing for? What is everyone wishing for that's involved in this thread? I hope I get something cool, the wife is giddy over what she bought me....but it isn't audio, that's unfortunate. ;) I would like to get a digital camera....we shall see.

    Boy, Xmas is coming fast. I'm hoping for a Monster component cable for my PS2.

    Mark, do you already have a Signal Cable Power cord? In the new year, I'll be upgrading power cords and will have a SC power cord to spare. When the time comes, I'd be more than willing to swap it.

    Derick - Yes, I have one, but it is being used. If you would have a loose one after your upgrade, that would be great. Let me know when you upgrade and what you upgrade too, that would be interesting. Which SC power cable do you have?

    Mark,
    I keep an open mind on what's awaiting under the tree, so far, no gear-size box there. What I wish for would not come from the wife, since she knows better than that. The other day, my eight-old years was looking around for extra money, and when I asked what for, he said he wants to buy speakers for my christmas present....:) The thoughts that count, right?

    Dorokusai,

    Just to let you know I finished the review and have the cables packaged and ready to send to Danger Boy. Was going to send it today but things have come up. I'll definitely have it in the post office tommorow morning come hell or snow fall.

    Just wanted to say Thanks for arranging this and being so generous with the loaning of equipment.

    Hope to have the review up in a day or so. New Years festivities to prepare for here. :)

    regards

    Dave

    DB(Al) and others - No, please post your reviews in this thread:

    http://clubpolk.polkaudio.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=14427

    Its your, the member's, demo, let us hear your thoughts. The demo should be done double blind, so I don't think there should be too many pre-conceptions. If you do not want to "influence" your listening experience...then maybe wait until after the demo to read the other members' opinions and comments....it is a totally separate thread for that reason.

    If you ever have any questions or need some guidance, I am always available to assist you in most ways. This thread is public, and the entire forum is encouraged to add their help and comments.

    Hi Danger Boy,

    The cables were shipped out yesterday. You should have them hopefully by the end of the week. I might have screwed up because I was asked for the insured value and I blurted out $40. If they hit you with duties or something, let me know and we'll work something out.

    regards

    How many pairs of each cable are in the box?

    If 1 pair is enough, if someone wants to send the box through here, I'll drop in a pair of MIT, Tributaries, and AR.
