in For Sale (FS) Classifieds
I have available the following...

2 x 1m pair of serie 3 ics with cardas rca connectors, assembled by all212. These are very warm cables, so if your system aims towards the brighter side, this is a way to go! $120 shipped per pair

1 x 1m pair of groneberg Quatro reference ics, equally as dark with mor elow end extension. These were a diy job I purchased... If Klaus makes them, I believe they are around $300 a set, looking for $120 shipped. Wbt locking rca connectors

All of these are in ok condition, not mint by any margin, connectors may show some wear... Functionally they work as they should and sound great! I just prefer the dh labs stuff in my system...

    Those top ones have the Cardas SRCA RCA's on them. Really nice. There is a spring tensioner around the outside contacts that keeps it tight without having to screw something down.

    thanks Aaron! I think between the Cardas and WBT connectors, the asking price basically covers the connectors if you were to build them yourself! haha

    Probably list these on the other sites early next week...

    Good cables here folks, Klaus actually uses the reference in his amps!

    @VR3 I’m picking up a couple of monoblocks from Klaus next week. I’m planning to upgrade my IC’s as well. I want to talk w him about it as well as get the amps here so I can see what lengths I’ll need before I commit, but I’m definitely interested in the 2x1m pair. Could I get dibs on them?

    Further price drop for Polksters
    $110 shipped, solid cable built like a tank. Groneberg actually has a patent where they use the same cable for power, ICs, speakers. Robust cable with great sound.
