Star Power RCA and Optical cables

[Jim Caldwell]

I got some of these recently. Seem high end, but cannot find any information on them. Any help?
Thanks, Jim

Do they transmit sound? Then I am sure they are fine. Most here do not believe in cable snake oil. I make many of my own with good materials from canare and neutrik.

Do you have link to those cables? I don't find them.

Never heard of them nor can I find.....unless something to do with a dealer called StarPower in Dallas. High end isn't usually anything more in cables except more expensive than it needs to be.

Thickest cables I have see, and have had hundreds. Have to figure out how to shrink pictures.

Thick doesn't necessarily mean anything, many are just added insulation. If using a windows pc try using the paint program that can resize pictures...I usually resize to 35-50% of original.

If they are fakes, or whit van types, well made. Weird. Will test them

Looks a bit too thick for what it is....with a decorative flex jacket.

I cannot find anything on line. If they are knockoffs or something, really good ones. Thickest optical I have seen

l suspect the thickness is to con people to part with serious cash!

Got them free, so... we'll see if they work.

To make a cable that didn't work would probably entail for trouble and expense than to make one that did.

They guy I got them from sold me a Tannoy Arena 5.1 set. $2000-3000 system when new. Amazing little speakers, btw. So I would assume they were legit cables. Bizarre. Compared to higher end Monster cables, appear more stout and heavier. High quality. Who would go to such lengths for fakes?

There's a lot of money to be made in silly cables. Monster is not "high end" particularly, but is one of the original sellers of snake oil cable. High quality cable isn't particularly determined by weight.
