Silver IC's going public with prices

ben62670

Well Polkies I have been asking that you guys keep the prices under your hats for some time now. Well it's time to let it out. I started at $80 a pair, but I have improved my braiding skills, and can do it faster. I have also found connectors at a lower price. I also have been told to not under sell myself, but I like to get all the positive feedback, and I enjoy hearing the opinions of Polkies who didn't believe cables could make a difference:) Well time to let the cat out of the bag. I don't care if the public can see this anymore. If you want Polkie price join CP.
$60 a pair for 36" IC's plus shipping.
Cheaper than PBJ's and better.
Enjoy fellow Polkies.

Also look at my sales rating. Most sales are private without feedback, but feel free to ask around.

I have bens IC's in my LSI home theater and once I heard them could not swap out the rest of my cables for them fast enough. They are the real deal and you owe it to yourself to give them a listen.

Thanks Micheal
Thats what I get from most guys. A few have gone to others usually costing more. I don't believe for one second mine are be all end all. Polkies who have gone above use MIT's, and a few use Goertz. Dollar for dollar I'll let you guy's ear be the judge.
Thanks

Hey guys also like to add if you bought cables off of me, and were dissatisfied please post here. I know it goes against forum rules, but synergy can be a ****. If you do post derogatory comments please post associated gear. This is for me, and others. Audio is a learning process. I have had two people that have had complaints. Please fella's post if you want. One was with an Emotiva amp which supposedly had issues with cables like mine. Another Polkie had a similar setup with no issues with my cables and the same setup. If you have issues I will help you sell the cables you purchased from me before I sell more of mine. Audio can be a long enjoyable journey. I have over a 1000' of cables out there and I feel good about it. I only do this one design because for other configurations you can probably find better deals. I may configure other cables, but till I get Polkie satisfaction like I have with these I shall stick with this one design.
Thanks much.

Ben, How much with WBT locking connectors?

Sal

Sal You supply the connectors, and there is no price increase. I have found the Nuetrik RCA's that I use real nice for the price point. Anyone who wants WBT, or Enchmain....(I am sure I spelled that wrong) just ship them to me. No extra cost. I am not looking to make a killing here.
Thanks

Ben's cables are a great product with a high level of performance for a very reasonable price...The quality is good and Ben has demonstrated a commitment to customer service. These are not starter cables! These are legitimate audiophile quality cables. Can you buy a better cable? Sure, but you have to pay quite a bit more to get appreciable improvement. I am a satisfied customer and I recommend them.

Thanks Carl.

I'm new to this, but I immediately noticed a difference in resolution when I added AQ Corals and Dbacks to my system. I tried a pair of Ben's, then 2 more pair and now finally have the last 2 pair coming. BW Silvers took my rig to a new level of detail and imaging. Anybody want a set of Corals?

Ben I do think you are under selling a fantastic cable..I would gladly pay an extra $10-20 for your cables...discounts are great but...even at 80 a pair I think its a great deal...

heiney9

Ben,

Just a suggestion. Do you make these as they are ordered or do you make them ahead of time and have a small stock on hand?

If you can make some up ahead of time be sure to bring some FS and demo to PF. I am interested and I would buy a pair or (2) from you at PF if you can/do bring some FS.

Just a thought.

STFU!!! Just kidding . Polkies are used to getting deals so let's not make a killing here on CP. Certainly cover your time and material costs and a small profit. If I had to pay a lot more for these over Signal Cable, I'd probably pass.......maybe not.

Hey Ben,

I've been talking up your cables to some guys off forum. Would you prefer I send them to your site?

RT

ben62670

Just send them here. I don't have anything against giving out Polkie price to friends of Polkies. I really need to get my buddy to update my site. The cables there are still the unsheathed orange ones;( They can email me at ben62670 dot yahoo dot com too. Just have them mention your name, and I'll give the Polkie price.
Thanks Ron

OK, I'll PM you their names and see if I can get them to join CP.

Cool more Polkies more better:)

Ben,

what about bringing some to PF. I assume you can still make it?

ben62670

I will bring some. I was planning on bringing some to demo, but I'll bring some extras.

Crap, I'm moving things around and realized I may need another pair.

ben62670

I have a pair of extra 4 footers that I built. The customer changed his mind so I am selling these at 3 footer price. $60 plus $10 to ship. I have others ready also.

Ben,

I'd love to try these. Please PM your address and I will get payment out today. Thanks.

ben62670

Thanks guys
Ben

ben62670

1 pair of 3 footers left.

jabrax

I'll take em...pm coming

Ben,

The cables arrived today. Word has it you sent them by electron-beam teletransport. Talk about service! I'll report after the cables are cooked by that Hagerman Frybaby device I mentioned. I told you I would report before-after comparisons. All I can say now is the before was kinda bright....a tad "sparkly". Thanks for the great service. Maybe you should take over Wells Fargo. :D

That was quick. Shipping from here is kinda weird. I could ship to the same addy 3 different times, and it will take 2 days one time, 3 another, and 5 another Using priority every time The sparkly thing goes away real quick;)
Thanks

Save some silver wire for me Ben, By Sunday I will have no more wedding expensives

I have more lined up;) It's a PIA to get. It took me a long time to find a reliable suppler who could get what I wanted. When the first guy dried up I was pretty freaked! My only concern is Gold, Silver, and copper are going up pretty freaken quick.
