Anyone have experience with these? Marvin turned me to them but have not yet met anyone with experience or opinions.
Reading their website it seems as if they are very particular about using the same material in their connectors as their conductors.
Not sure how these would compare to my AQ Wel sc.

Probably a more custom build.

i would start with the organic reference and since you get two years full credit trade up, play around with the argento silvers later. of course that is a good price if you can use the length of the ones from audiogon.Amplifiers: Norma IPA 140, MasterSound Compact 845, Ayre v6xe, Consonance Cyber 800

When wires start to cost the same as components... one must think twice.
But I will say yes, by looking through the website, they seem to be fantastic cables.Magico M2, JL113v2x2, EMM, ARC Ref 10 Line, ARC Ref 10 Phono, VPIx2, Lyra Etna, Airtight Opus1, Boulder, AQ Wel&Wild, SRA Scuttle Rack, BlueSound+LPS, Thorens 124DD+124SPU, Sennheiser, Metaxas R2R -
Their look reminds me of stealth cable. Very pricey they are, 5k to 30k- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

Yeah. At some point when the cables are that expensive, it’s only a feasible option if everything else is already at maximum.Magico M2, JL113v2x2, EMM, ARC Ref 10 Line, ARC Ref 10 Phono, VPIx2, Lyra Etna, Airtight Opus1, Boulder, AQ Wel&Wild, SRA Scuttle Rack, BlueSound+LPS, Thorens 124DD+124SPU, Sennheiser, Metaxas R2R -
