The Cable Company

Has anyone had any dealings with The Cable Company? They have a program called The Cable Library where you can try out cables by paying 5% of the cost of the cables. They send a notice with the cables to let you know when you should return them. But, if you're happy with the cables, the 5% that you paid to rent the cables will be applied 100% to the purchase costs.

Thanks for the input.

    I have bought all my cables, and power conditioners, from the Cable Company for around the last three years or so. They give a discount, and are responsive to any questions. For buying cables, I give them an A+. I have never used the Lending Library.

    Great company to deal with. I've made a few purchases from them. One of these days I have to stop in & check out their listening rooms, they're not to far from me in New Hope, Pa.
