I'm such an audiophile, that I bought an extra one of these cables and brought it to work. I hooked it up to my Cisco IP phone (from the wall to the phone) and let me tell you....call quality has never been this great. It's like surround sound quality, but in a mono telephone handset. I'm in the middle of writing a letter to Denon, requesting they duplicate this cable for the small jack that goes between the phone and the handset. Sigh.....that would be the life.

My kitty was hit by a speeding car in my neighborhood. Racked with grief and left with no other choice I plugged one end of the cables into my dedicated link input and the other into my dead kitty. The kitty immediately sprang back to life! I was so overjoyed I went to my family burial plot and dug up my dead Grandmother. Over the protests of the groundskeepers at the cemetery I plugged the cable into her lifeless corpse. As soon as the plug made contact with her Granny popped straight up. She now lives with me in my apartment. Her incessant babbling and stench have kept me from having intimate relations with a woman for over 2 years now. Do not buy these dammed cables they will ruin your sex life.

With most cables, music is bright yellow dots. For some reason, music played through this cable is lime green triangles. It must be a factor of the high-purity copper wire. If you like lime green triangles, you will love this cable. If not, I would recommend a standard purity copper wire.

So I shelled out $500 for the Denon AKDL1 Dedicated Link Cable due to its "superior heat resistance, weather resistance, and anti-aging properties." I've had it on me ever since, letting it dangle around my neck. Now granted, it has raised my status. People stare at me, no doubt impressed and even envious that I have the Denon cable. But "superior heat resistance, weather resistance, and anti-aging properties"? Not on your life. I walk in the rain with the cable around my neck and I still get wet. Yesterday, a hot July day down here in Florida, I felt so confident in the "superior heat resistance" of the cable that I walked around dressed as if I was on an Arctic expedition. Oddly enough I still sweated and passed out. So much for "superior heat resistance." As for the "anti-aging properties", well I am still getting older with each passing day. What a gyp.

This cable is decent enough, but if you really want to blow your mind with audio nirvana and keep up with the Jones's, just wait for Denon to release the AKDL1 Limited Edition.
The AKDL1LE features 24k gold wiring and connectors as well as a certificate of authenticity and an autograph from the designing engineer. The LE package doesn't stop there. They actually give you TWO AKDL1LE cables- one for actual use and one for display purposes (for the Denon AKDL1LE bullet-proof sealed glass case- sold separately).
Denon hasn't announced a price or release date yet, but you can sign up for an auto-notification for a mere $99 and Denon will dispatch someone to knock on your door with a golden ticket as soon as one is available.
I signed up for two and plan to make a killing on the scalping market...

I know what you're thinking: "$500.00 for a single, stinking cable!?" Well, let me tell you what this bad boy can do, and then make your decision.
First, don't be fooled by the simple images on the product page. The ends look like simple RJ45 connectors, but somehow they fit into the following plug-ins: RJ45, Bluetooth headsets, car cigarette lighters, 110V wall outlets, RJ11 connections, and every single UPS every created. This puppy conducts AC, wind, electromagnetic, static electricity, DC, Earth Wind and Fire, solar, and the sheer awesomeness of Brian Johnson from AC/DC. Enough of the technical specs; let me tell you the possibilities of this cable.
After hooking up my DVD player, my 6-port router, my VCR, my DirecTV satellite, and my Wii (yes, all with this one cable!), not only did everyone on my block suddenly have a LAN connection capable of fiber-optic speeds, but I was able to play a record in my DVD player, DirecTV is now receiving live NFL Sunday Ticket broadcasts from the 2030 season (Go Bears!), and my penis picks up a wireless signal whenever I'm within ten feet of the house.
On top of all that, my stereo now goes to eleven!!! This is a can't-live-without product. Buy it now; it's well worth the price.

THE GOOD NEWS:
These things aren't cheap but they control jitter and vibration better then any other cable under $10,000.00
THE BAD NEWS:
I'm on my second cable as the first one only lasted six months! After three months vibration and jitter were coming back and the clarity was gone. After just six months it sounded like I was using Monster Cables! YIKES!!!
RECOMMENDATION:
You're going to need to replace this cable every so often so buy two now and save on the shipping.
