    This should be interesting.

    The interconnects look like dressed up Monoprice cables. Power cords use Wattgate knock of ends. But at least the HDMI cables look pretty. :D

    Honestly, I’ve recently started “upgrading” my wires with sidewinders based on reviews from other users. I like deals so I’ve been swapping them out as catch them on the used market. I decided to start switching out my IC’s to Sidewinders after upgrading my monoprice bulk speaker wire to Audioquest type 4 to very impressive results.

    I saw those about a week ago and I was thinking the same thing...They look like slightly fancier Monoprice cables.

    Who knows, maybe they are and maybe they are not. I would rather hear from the horses mouth what cable and terminations they use.

    Maybe they are BJC's for all we know.

    I didn't say they were BJC's. So many idiots, so little time and not enough ammo.

    Since you can't read between the lines I will spell it out for you: Currently no one knows the spec's on the cables. No one knows who they are made by.

    Unlike some here I would rather wait and see since this is a new offering than start a smear campaign. Nice to know you still are an a-hole.

    I'm a big emo fan, but I think they did themselves a disservice by posting the cables without providing detailed descriptions. I asked on the forum because I emailed emo but haven't yet heard back.
