How many of the well known cable companies actually make their own cable? Only one I can think of off hand for definite is Kimber,I’m pretty sure the little boutique companies charging 4 figures and more aren’t actually producing cables,more like marketing geniuses in all honesty.

All of them,all the usual crud you hear at shoes with some toe tapping sales rep nodding his head too. Why the hell can’t they play some proper music,Hawkwind in partitular levitation album can be amazing on the right system,and is also amazing on a old aiwa,most of the corals stuff,the smiths...
