    Couple thoughts...

    1. I dont think anyone "pushed" cobalt...40% was an incentive for me to buy a power cable so that I can connect it directly to a wall socket....I am too lazy to make my own.

    2. They have a 90 day money back guarentee so please share your info. I am more than happy to get my money back assuming that it doesnt make a sonic improvement or is crap as you say it is. AC4L has longer conventional cables I can buy for lot less

    3. Their power cable sounds a lot like the signal cable power cord for sources (not the power) and is priced about the same...is theirs crap also?

    Henry dear, it's time to take a break from your newest toy & come out of the Bomb Shelter and get some fresh air.

    Or simply hang around a few more adults!:p :D

    I bought the cobalt In-wall speaker wire... I looked around and it seems to be some great stuff. I have not installed yet...but it was not easy to find 12g inwall wire. sure...there is some...but 14/16g is vastly popular. It may not be the cheapest thing..but I did search for monster cable...and really...what i payed for my coboalt...it was not much more. Shipping was extremely quick and no shipping cost! I'm happy so far...I mean its wire...and its 12 g and it does look a lot better then the HD products..lol. When I get it in..I'll let ya know more.

    Just received my Cobalt jumpers yesterday. FWIW, I was very impressed with the build quality. Looks cool, too. Not bad for $24 for 2 pair. Don't know if they make a sonic difference yet, but I really don't expect them to do that, esp. on my HT system.

    Well even if they don't work out you can get around $40 for them on Ebay even though that's what they retail for. People don't know any better.

    So can you please share your fact sheet? You cant just bash a vendor and members, tease us with a promise of facts, and leave us hanging.....spill you guts or your credibility is not going to go very far....after all, you stated that you lost SLEEP over this right?

    Excellent comment 2+2.

    He's full of crap, just put him on ignore like most of the others have....then it just doesn't matter.

    Hey! The email notification is back! Anyhow, I got a cobalt multichannel IC set and put them in my HT rig- haven't had the chance for a thorough listen, but so far I have no complaints- build looks solid, soldering is quality, haven't made me say "these suck!"
