5.0 out of 5 stars Solved Global Warming Locally
After I took delivery of my $500 Denon AKDL1 Cat-5 uber-cable, Al Gore was mysteriously drawn to my home, where he pronounced that Global Warming had been suspended in my vicinity.

Yes, I had perfect weather: no flooding, no tornadoes, the exact amount of rain necessary, and he pronounced sea levels exactly right and that they were not going to rise within...

1.0 out of 5 stars I don't have much time.
This connection isn't sound. If my calculations are correct, it should be sometime around 2007 for whomever is reading this. DO NOT USE THESE CABLES. Something... happens with them. Something came through, something from somewhere else. We were overrun in days, not many of us are left. WE LIVE UNDERGROUND! ONLY YOU CAN STOP IT NOW. SAVE US. DO NOT USE THESE...

1.0 out of 5 stars Warning, October 27, 2009
If you're reading this, then you are the last one. We all thought it was a joke, until they started appearing. Then we knew. Sure, we fought them off for a while, but we couldn't hold them off forever. Now it's up to you. You have to tell. Don't let the others make the same mistake. YOU HAVE TO TELL! YOU HAVE TO TELL!............IT'S IN THE CABLES! IT'S IN THE CABLES!

3.0 out of 5 stars Rebranded Product, October 26, 2009
By Matthew W. Hales (New Orleans, LA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Cables are great, but if you peel back the carbon nanotube braided wrap (do NOT inhale fibers when doing this) you will see that these are actually re-branded Aperture Science Laboratories ASL-971 cables with some slight change to the in-woven flux casing. You'll hear audiophiles blather on and on about how dendritic casing enhances the flux directionality with dramatic tonal result. Honestly, I don't hear that much difference. I purchased these as a replacement of the Aperture Science version (which, it should be noted, cost $12.85 less) and noticed no improvement. In fairness, the rest of my system is great, but not a full-blown audiophile rig like the one they demo cabling with at Best Buy. Anyway, the cable is fine, but no better than the Aperture Science version.

5.0 out of 5 stars you won't regret it!, October 26, 2009
Easily the finest cable I have in my house. It does what ordinary cables fail to do. It's almost miraculous, but as a staunch atheist I oppose non-scientific explanations for anything. What I don't oppose, though, is the brilliant sound I get thanks to these HDMI cables.

I was listening to my 128kbps MP3 of Attack! Attack! (easily the best in technical black post metal) which people have derisively, ignorantly, and flippantly called crabcore for some indiscernible reason on my old S-Video cables and it sounded awful. The cymbals seemed to have a flange to them or something. Once I plugged these puppies into my RGB ports the HDMI resolution drastically increased as evidenced by my PKE meter. (If you don't have a PKE meter you have no business in DARING to buy these HD cables.

Anyway, having these cables was like getting a new perspective on life. I hear that bit rot causes MP3s to sound not so good if you've had the file for years and years, too, so I ripped the same song in the highest-quality FLAC file I could. Not that FLAC is better than a 128kbps MP3. In fact, it's worse. Who ever heard of FLAC? It just sounds bad.

Please buy these cables. You won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not so great sound, but..., October 26, 2009
By J. Robinson (Spokane, WA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was skeptical when I first purchased this cable. After all $500 is an awful lot to pay for what is essentially an Ethernet cable. Once I received this cable I realized that I would gladly have paid $1,000 or more. You see it doesn't seem to affect sound quality one way or another, but it did cure my erectile dysfunction. Before, I was but a shell of a man. I was hadn't been able to satisfy my wife in "that way" for almost five years. Then almost overnight I was able to perform like my old, virile self again. Thank you Denon!

There are some unfortunate side-effects to this cable however such as the horrible chafing. Also the the ends of the cables (RJ-45 connectors) have some sharp corners that can be quite painful when inserting and removing them from your body. I would suggest Denon consider a softer material such as silicone to coat the ends with. On the plus side cleanup is a snap!

I purchased the Denon AKDL1 Dedicated Link Cable along with this book: How to Live with a Huge Penis: Advice, Meditations, and Wisdom for Men Who Have Too Much and now I'm a complete, happy man and my marriage has been saved.

5.0 out of 5 stars Will it blend?!, October 26, 2009
By L. Klop (Spring, TX) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Due to the high flux conductivity, this dishwasher safe Dedicated Link Cable has very impressive dimensional rift preventability capabilities. In addition to it's innate talent for dimensional rift preventability, this cable makes an excellent cancer-curing noose. Though the sound quality and transmission range is sub-par compared to anti-matter filled pseudoquasi-wireless P2P spatial link cable that Monster is selling, it's still a steal. I've also noticed that the cable grants me wolf powers, and makes an excellent tow-cable / jump rope. Sadly, it does not blend.

I'd personally recommend using this cable to interconnect your Deep Blue to your Super Large Hadron Collider, as it's far too powerful to merely be used as a whip, though it does do a great job of harnessing your inner DJ abilities. Regardless, the Denon AKDL1 has changed my life.

1.0 out of 5 stars Paranormal DJ Skills, October 25, 2009
Yo. As you can tell by my greeting I am a DJ. I am also a practicing occultist. Performing seances and summonings creates a great deal of vibration in the room. Also we are overweight and get really excited, so you can only imagine the amount of movement in the room. This vibration is detrimental when it comes to our audio cables. We always make mash-ups of U2's "Elevation" and Kanye Wests "Jesus Walks" when we are trying to exploit the dead, and without the best audio cables, this is impossible. Here is where Denon should have stepped in to save the day. Who was i kidding? If i want to ask Michael Jackson a question from beyond the grave (such as, "Why Michael? Why?!!") i'm going to need to spend a minimum of $5,000 for REAL audio cables. So to all of you out there just like me, don't waste the time or piddly amount of money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best cable evr, October 25, 2009
By Tyler Rohren "skylinrcr01" (Rancho Santa Margaita, Ca, Usa) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I too was skeptical like many of you before i bought this cable. Little did i know my world was about to change. OH YES. Many reviewers have spoken about this cables ability to cure cancer or time travel. well.....they were right. Not only could I do all of those things, when I transversely connected it to my Thermal Froculator it Froculated a bajaillion times more efficiently. My girlfriend saw it froculating so well, she tried to destroy the poor cable. To LITTLE AVAIL! This cable withstood a moltov cocktail, a chainsaw and a Mini Gun! Once I found this out, I conversley protonated the majoplexor in my dining room, and my steak consumtion has incresed 2 fold.

In short if you have 500 dollars lying around, take a $3000 loan out and buy 7!
