    Gidrah just let me know the AQ's are on the way. Does anyone know the status of the SC's??

    I would love to do a shootout, if I could.:cool:

    Anthony - Send me your address again, I am scatterbrained. Gidrah has asked for it, and it keeps slipping my mind.

    Anthony - Got'ya...you will have two cables enroute soon...the AQ and the SC. The pressure is on you because you have a serious subjective demo to conduct. Let me know if you need any help.

    ATC! I need your addy....email me please, dorokusai@comcast.net

    Mark and Gidrah,

    I received the AQ Diamondbacks today. I REALLY want to put them in, but I don't want to form any opinions until I do the A/B with the SC's.

    This is killing me....:D

    Sean,

    Do you still have some Hero's hanging around? I'd be interested to hear how they compare to the Nordost.

    Actually, Sean generously traded me his 0.5 meter Kimber Heros for some Ixos bi-wire speaker cable that I had. So I am the keeper of these wires.

    Doro, I would be willing to part with these 0.5 meter Kimbers for about 6 to 8 months or something like that so that we can add some Kimbers to the mix here. I would like them back eventually though. I have no need for them right now as they are being unused. So mark me up for a contribution to this campaign which I think is a good one.

    Do you think the 0.5 meter length would cause some issues though with folks' gear arrangement? Well, I guess they could temporarily rearrange things just to get a listen.

    Send me a PM and I can mail them to whoever wants to demo them first.

    Against the Heros, I think the Nordost Blue Heaven best would compete with it. It's Nordost under $200 interconnect. I've been waiting for a used pair to show up in the Audiogon market to pull the trigger on a pair just for grins to see how it does against the Heros and the Transparent Musiclinks.

    Nordost Review Thread

    PJ - That sounds good, I will start that this month. That is definetly a short cable, but if they want to demo it, they can sign up. I have a 0.5M Outlaw brand cable, maybe we can package them up together, and have a double demo available.....that would be cool.

    Ceruleance has withdrawn....Gidrah, you will be receiving the Nordost's soon.

    If the plan is to drink until blind, I'm betting on whichever IC's are last up... :D

    NEW DEMO!

    Signal Cable Magic Power

    A few individuals have expressed interest in a power cable demo, so this will be launched soon. I want to get the cable burned in per Frank's suggestion but after that it's demo time. It will be approx. 5ft, and 15amp terminated.

    Let me know if you would like to demo this cable, by posting here in teh thread.

    Thanks for looking.

    Count me in too. Let's see if this demo can win over a power cord "skeptic" (me!)
