H highfigh Seriously, I have no life. Sep 14, 2008 24,219 0 113 Mar 3, 2021 #4 Where to start, where to start..... "AE’s hand dipped 24k gold over copper"- chocolate is hand-dipped, so maybe this is how they make sure the midrange becomes 'chocolatey'. "Both arrows facing speaker; produces natural frequency extension. (How we test) Both arrows away speaker; produces deeper timber. (Increase warmth)" OK, that means they have something in the cable that causes this and that's really BS. "Frequency extension"? Really? " TECHNICAL INNOVATIONS Proprietary Conductors, with equal distance and spacing, each transferring the signal with maximum RCL efficiency. Highly pure OCC copper removes grain boundaries that cause signal distortion. Low-D Fiber insulation, measuring at a 1.3 dielectric; decreasing electromagnetic interference while increasing the speed of transfer, VOP. Outer jacket allows the cable to be lighter and more flexible then extruded PVC. It looks great and serves a higher electrical purpose. Optimized signal flow is the cleanest path for electron resistance. Pure copper connectors are the same conductivity as source wire. Other metal combinations have displayed signal error. “Rewiring your speakers will make you think twice about replacing them.” Wow. Just wow.

Are your mids more chocolatey now or does the SP9 cable add more of an umami quality? Are they luscious and rich too? It's about lunch time and I'm thinking about getting a cable burrito. Not in the mood for chocolate tho, and don't want anything heavy to digest.

A audiobuff74 Audiophyte Mar 2, 2021 7 0 1 52 Mar 3, 2021 #17 I'm almost afraid to comment on this with all the negative comments. I was just stating my experience. I can use cheap monoprice cables and get sound if that's all I wanted. The SP9 made my Soundstage and depth come alive and I spent way less money on it than if I had bought kimber or audioquest. You can call their products snake oil or whatever but they do offer a return policy. I don't work for them I am just a customer sharing my experience. For the poster who wants to slam me about bi wiring don't knock it till you tried it with a good speaker. And I don't mean Polk or kef garbage. A real audiophile speaker will shine when bi wired. I said my peace. . Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk Reactions: BWguy, mtrycrafts and lovinthehd
