edited March 2008 in For Sale (FS) Classifieds
This is one I bought off of Ebay a while back. I bought it from a Hong Kong seller. In fact I liked the first one so well I bought another one. It was advertised as a Hitachi brand 10ga using six 9's pure copper. I guess maybe Hitachi made the actual wire. The connectors are labeled Nicoon and both are labeled 15A 125V. It is a standard 3-prong. It's almost exactly 5 ft long from end to end. I believe a couple other Polkies bought one also around the same time. I'm keeping one for my amp but I wish to try something a little different for my CDP. These are really good, well-built cables with nice looking, black techflex type sleeve. Very flexible for their size. I don't think they are heavily shielded is probably why. I've compared this to the DH Labs Power Plus I think it was...the one that was going around in the cable swap program a while back. I've also compared it to the Signal Cable Digital Reference and the Zu Cable Birth. I chose this cable over all of those, as in my system at the time it out-performed them and as it turns out it cost less too.
Sorry, it doesn't have a fancy name or anything...no 'plus' or 'reference' or 'xtreme' or k's instead of c's. I think I paid around $60 shipped for it. It shows very little wear. I don't know...how about $40 shipped. Lower 48 U.S. others please inquire.

    I'd like to roll some different 12AU7's in my integrated. Anybody got a matched quad as trade or partial trade? :) I'd be willing to give the PC a kool name.

    Talk to me ... what's the deal :) I'm on my 4th Sierra Nevada and thinking about hitting the Merlot or Bloody Mary's so I'm getting very vulnerable. I've got an offer for $35 shipped but the dude lives about as close to Nova Scotia as you can get and still live in the States. :rolleyes:
    I've also got 4 of these binding posts I could throw in if anybody is interested..2 red, 2 black.

    That sounds reasonable. You said something about their relatives?

    No, actually it's not sold. The tubes turned out to be not compatible with my rig. I just got my potential 'replacement' cord and am going to do some A/B'ing. The replacement is only 1 meter and a much better fit for my current CDP rack location. If it works out I'll be bumping this back up for sale. Should know by later tonite ;) If you want first shot, you got it.
