Nice cables, I'm sure, but grossly overpriced. You're buying a lotta marketing hype when you choose one. Much like Monster cables. Adjectives don't make for better products, they just make for higher prices. "Cryogenically treated" and "oxygen free" and "multi-eutectic solder" are terms frequently cited in high-priced cable descriptions, and they're just horsefeathers. Means nothing. It's like advertising that your bottled water is "Life-enhancing dihydrogen monoxide, a hydrating mixture of only the purest natural base elements" because it's made of 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 of oxygen, then selling it for $129/gal. Read the article at the link. It was written as a joke by a bunch of college kids, and if you don't know any better it's absolutely terrifying. Many cables are sold the same way. Don't get sucked in.

I've got one, Dave...bought one of LV's spares (he's a fan of these, check his reviews). Very nice sounding cable...hangs with other fancy cables I have or had (Evidence Melody, Grindycop, Klotz, etc.).
