1.0 out of 5 stars Maybe NASA or the Air Force purchased these in the 80's, January 7, 2009
By Sean U (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
My Ethernet packets went through this cable, and while they looked shiny when they came out... when I opened them up to look inside, they still contained the same data. If you bought this item and liked it, I have a special rare magnet from uranus that you can attach to it to get even better sound. I'll sell it to you for only $450.

1.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat disappointing, December 31, 2008
By Chris Rae (Seattle, WA, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this cable with high hopes, but eventually I had to return it. When I bought it I took it out of the lovely wooden display case and immediately used it to connect my printer to my laptop. I printed a couple of pictures and, well, the quality simply had to be seen to be amazed. It gave my old printer a whole new lease of life.

Unfortunately, I was woken up by a commotion later that night and turned the light on to discover the cable in bed with my wife. She claims that she must have caught her foot on it on the way to bed, but I'm not exactly sure. It certainly doesn't explain how the cable ended up wearing one of my best ties. I wrote to Denon and they told me that it was unfortunately quite a common complaint. They offered me another set but, to be honest, I suspect they're all the same.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but not great, December 24, 2008
By Michael Flores "darkernights" (San Antonio, TX) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Sure, this took me forward in time 200 years. Let me tell you, the future is incredible... but.. that's for another day.

What I really didn't like was since it time traveled, it was outdated in the year I arrived on. There were much better digital alternatives to this cable with backwards compatibility. So I give it a 3/5

3.0 out of 5 stars Father Peter, December 1, 2008
I'm really upset, and I must say, more than a little peeved at the entire internet community.

I bought one of these based on the rather glowing reviews here. Yet, in the hours since receiving it, no angelic choirs have descended, nor do I find myself in a magical futuristic world, ruled by Paris Hilton (I'm not sure why that other reviewer said that was a bad thing - I'm in love with Paris, and always will be! :x)

More to the point, no deep bass or high squeaky noises. Nada (that's "nothing" in Spanish, for you ignoramuses out there! Ha ha, I'm smarter than you!)

Anyway, I shook it, stuck it in my ear, and even stuck it where Father Peter used to stick the candle after the service - and, no sound at all!

The only difference I can see is, I'm alive (I died a year ago).

5.0 out of 5 stars Sparkling Highs, Bell bottom lows, November 27, 2008
By P. vanzo "Dr Who" (New Zealand) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was suspicious of a claimed inductance at 100kHz, which can cause reduction of internal inductance as the AC resistance increases. However, the musicality of these babies cannot be ignored. An even, clean ride, with a sparkling top end.

They make my Rick Astley MP3s sound great!

1.0 out of 5 stars Mystery Solved, November 13, 2008
I do not expect this post to be read as I am communicating to you via telepathic interface in the year 2291.

Moments after plugging in my freshly unboxed Denon AKDL1 Dedicated Link Cable, I found myself tumbling inside a space-time rift which has landed me 283 years in the future. There is much to be told but I haven't a lot of time, nor any tin foil. The human element is no more, only bodies connected to one another by a continuous "Denon AKDL2 Link Cable". All human consciousness, behavior and emotion is streamed to and from a central hub only known as "Paris Hilton". The scene is beyond description and I fear for my life. In fact, I am currently huddled behind a futuristic trash bin (I know it's futuristic because it is shiny silver in appearance) trying to avoid detection. Heed my warning: save your $500 USD and buy something useful like the mother-ton supply of tin foil. So far, it looks like foil is the only defense against robotic mind control and the eventual demise of a person's individualism and freedom.

Bottom line: I guess I have to give this item a single star in my review as it is responsible for casting me into a frightening future where thought-controlling robots and Paris Hilton rule the world.

1.0 out of 5 stars Amazing. Full Ethernet Speed!, November 6, 2008
By T. Schwerdt "T" (TX United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazing. An ethernet cable with a list price of $500. Nice that you can get it half price at Amazon! I'm sure the braiding and "fluoropolymer jacket" added at least $0.27 to the production cost.

5.0 out of 5 stars tremendous performance, November 6, 2008
I bought several of these and used them to string my tennis racket. I have never been beaten since. If I don't hit the ball just right on serving, they seem to simply disappear into thin air. But well hit, my top service speed has been clocked at over 3,200 mph. However, 2 weeks ago I accidently killed one my doubles opponents. It was terrible. People, please be careful with these.

5.0 out of 5 stars this is the whizz, October 31, 2008
By amir m (glasgow, scotland) - See all my reviews
you good folks have seen the wizard of oz right? well, this cable is like the red shoes in the the kingdom of computo-electroville. personally i think the price should be increased at least twofold 'cause only the hardcore will appreciate the wonders of this amazing em.... thing - like an ultra rare $20,000 bottle of wine. you just can't let your average "joe sixpack" loose on this cable. it would be a waste.
