If I could use a rusty boxcutter to carve a new orifice in my body that's compatible with this link cable, I would already be doing it. I can just imagine the pure musical goodness that would flow through this cable into the wound and fill me completely -- like white, holy light. Holding this cable in my hands actually makes me feel that much closer to the Lord Jesus Christ. I only make $6.25/hr at Jack In The Box, but I saved up for three months so I could have this cable. It sits in a shrine I constructed next to my futon in Mother's basement.

I only gave it four stars in my review because I can't find music that is worthy enough to flow through this utterly perfect interconnect.

A caution to people buying these: if you do not follow the "directional markings" on the cables, your music will play backwards. Please check that before mentioning it in your reviews.

I was disappointed. I consider myself an audiophile - I regularly spend over $1000 on cables to get the ultimate sound. I keep my music-listening room in a Faraday cage to prevent any interference that could alter my music-listening experience. Sending any signal down ordinary copper can degrade the signal considerably. While ordinary listeners might not notice, to somebody with even a rudimentary knowledge of sound, the artifacts are glaring. Denon should have used silver wiring (hermetically sealed inside the rubber sheath to prevent any tarnishing, of course), which has a significantly higher conductivity than copper. Furthermore, Denon needs to treat the wires they use in the cable with a polarity inductor to ensure minimal phase variance.

Well, not to brag, but I have to say I've found many additional uses than what this cable was originally intended for. First I thought it was just a mere audio cable that I've seen at every audiophile store in the land, but oh, its much more. This is not only a audio cable that has recieved the utmost detail to manufacturing attention. I have also been able to hook it up to my Router that connects into my DSL Connection and instantly upgrade myself to a OC-3 connection. Yes thats 400+Mbps of Data streaming into my house, just by merely connecting this cable between my DSL Modem and my Router. You jest?, Well the reason why is the quality is extremely higher than a typical Cat-5 Cable, or even a Cat-6 Cable. I would have to say this cable is rated at cat-7 or even better. Along with being able to upgrade my 1.5mbps DSL connection to 400+mbps,

By simply plugging this cable into his router from his modem he increased his internet speed by more than 200times :confused:

Yeah, what a rip. Everyone knows Monster Cables hooked up to Bose speakers are the best combo for the money. And anyway, it's the surge protector that makes the biggest difference in sound quality.

A subjectivist audiophile and his money are so easily parted... They had me at "nuances."

Actually....I have no idea if Mr. Bose himself likes them or not. I never actually talked to the guy. But, yeah.....you have no idea how many times we have marketing guys out in field and and say that we needed Monster Cables.

From the description:
Additionally, signal directional markings are provided for optimum signal transfer.

Seriously? Did they just imply the ink on the outside, or the DIRECTION the cable is plugged in makes a difference? :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Actually the mapping is probably the same what IS different is the twists in the cable. Try to run as an ethernet cable and if it'll work, it'll work like shit. THis is specifically for digital AV signal. Now the price on the other hand is a crock of shit though!

You can get twisted pair cabling that handles 10 gigabit/sec. Digital audio isn't going to be a problem.

I think he's had some Denon kool-aid recently.
