Cables, what to buy, what should I sell?

[Googer]

--General Cable Discussion--

I have a set of Van Den Hul D-300 cables with Genuine Tiffany Connectors. I know these cables are highly desirable to audiophiles and the connectors are highly coveted. I am considering selling them (to pay bills) but want to get some opinions first.


Thin little cables you get with a new vcr don't sound as nice as something you pay a small premium for but believed most premium cables were all the same till I was given a pair of these as a gift. With a little hesitation, I tried them and my DVD-A and SACD's sounded much clearer, crisper, and louder than the Monster Cables I picked up on clearance at Radio Shack.


I've seen similar sets Van Den Hul cables have sold for more than $200 on ebay and cables with Tiffany Connectors often have an asking price of thousands.

What Is this too much to ask for them? Should I keep them? I know they are semi-rare and hard to find, gems.

Google "Tiffany Connectors"

I already know some auctions for the same cable with out the Tiffany Connectors have ended with buy it now for $80

These cables are unbundled and recently, one single cable of this same size and same connector sold for $37. A pair would likely sell for more than double.

I saw those and they are Tiffany "STYLE". And they are not the right type either.

Cables is cables. The end.

Nelson Pass AND Sigfried Linkwitz can't be wrong.

That's what I thought and you and I would have been in complete agreement, until someone gave these Van den Hul cables to me as a way of changing my mind. As doubtful and skeptical as I was and still am- these really did improve things.
