4.0 out of 5 stars I don't remember this being in the product description, June 27, 2008
By Lee Bailiff "merc" (Fort Worth, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This cable does allow for incredible sound. However, I believe a possible side-effect from the use of this cable has not been noted by the manufacturers. Upon playing Prince's "Kiss" my speakers ... how should I put this? ... Well, I think they ... climaxed.

That's not the end of it. Oh, no. My stereo system is now sentient. And horny. Not one of my other appliances has warranty coverage for ... well ... the kind of 'damage' they are currently receiving.

I'd just unplug the darn thing, but it's developed an ability to arc pure energy when it feels threatened. It took two scorched electricians to figure that out. And, yes, I've already tried flipping the breaker switch. Doesn't work. The power won't go out. I don't understand how the hell it pulled that off.

Please, if anyone has any tips or advice, I'm getting desperate. My living room is some kind of sick, mechanical sex den and it's really freaking me out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dante's Cable, June 27, 2008
I would betray my benefactors for a conductor assemblage of this
shimmering pulchritude. Like Ugolino della Gherardesca in the
second circle of the ninth ring of hell, I'll be gnawing on Ruggieri's
skull in the tower of hunger as I dream ravenously of this talismanic
telemeter of signal. From the inner depth of my very Ka, I writhe with
desire, with a burning, keening need for its greased electrons,
cruising along the silky smooth outer skin of the copper at .67c,
gently but passionately kissing the dielectric insulation for the
entire journey, from the molded plastic alpha connector to the omega.

Buddha was right about desire being the cause of all suffering. Amen.

5.0 out of 5 stars You all miss the point. It's about looks, not function., June 24, 2008
By D. Hobbs "lordboots" (Seattle, wa USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
So, as a Mac user, I bought my computer because it's beautiful. I couldn't think of a more complimentary cable to plug into my gold plated Cisco switch. Don't hate me because I'm beautiful and rich. I party with moviestars and everybody uses these cables because they look better than your nerd herd etherhose crap you use.

Denon AKDL1 vs Chuck Norris?

-- i'd have to give it to the AKDL1

Denon AKDL1 vs Ditka?

-- Ditka. but just barely. unless it's the 1985 Ditka. Then Ditka wins hands down.

i'm off to Best Buy now to get some Monster HDMI cables now. yeah. i, uhhh, highly recommend them too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, an affordable Einstein-Rosen Bridge, June 24, 2008
By Lord Sandwich (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This amazing product significantly improved my transfer speeds, so much so that my packets now arrive at their destination before they're sent. In fact, I haven't even typed this review yet.

4.0 out of 5 stars Give the cable a chance!, June 24, 2008
By S. Sadler (North Carolina) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
For all of you supposed "reviewers" who claim to have experienced the wonders and joy of owning this cable:

If you look at Amazon's sales rank for this fine product, it is apparent that few, if any, of you have actually purchased this cable. Rather than being the popular product you claim it to be, it is even being out-sold by the Brown Zune. Your reviews are obviously based on conjecture and not on real-world evidence.

Shame on all of you for your deceit and guile! How dare you malign the character of what is obviously an excellent and competitively-priced product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Free shipping, June 24, 2008
By ephidog (Norway) - See all my reviews
I didn't get one, I got ten. Saved a lot of dough, 'cause Amazon offers free shipping.

Now I'm the happiest kid on the block!

5.0 out of 5 stars New discoveries in music... thanks Denon!, June 24, 2008
On receipt, I promptly installed the Denon AKDL1 Dedicated Link Cable in my audio setup, following the provided directional arrows. I fired up my system and installed a few CDs, and to my amazement, the increased data rate and Denon pure signal technology revealed the following:

1) Iron Butterfly's In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, once thought to be 17 minutes, 5 seconds long is, in actuality 18 minutes, 35 seconds in length. In this extended sequence, Doug Ingle and Lee Dorman banter back and forth on whether there a god, and if so, why does he deny his own existence. I also was able to make out a very faint jaw harp solo around 10 minutes in, and the fade-in of a didgeridoo in the closing stanzas.

2) All of Barry White's material was actually sung by a woman. And at least 100 of my friends agree.

3) Although it is believed that the Beatles backmasked secret messages into some of their songs, the high-fidelity provided by the Denon AKDL1 revealed a normal message spanned across the White Album, consisting of Ringo and George reading "The Great Gatsby" using cockney rhyming slang and pig latin.

I am extremely pleased at the quality of these cables, and I would definitely recommend them to my friends, family, pets and complete strangers.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mind the directional arrows!, June 24, 2008
By Nils Jacobsen "HD Nut" (San Diego, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
OK, after all the great reviews I finally opted to get this cable. My family will be without food for some time, but I'm sure it will be worth it in the long run...

BIG WARNING, guys! MIND THE DIRECTIONAL ARROWS! I hooked it up to my setup, and hit play. NO SOUND!!! I could not figure it out, until I looked behind my setup. One end of the cable was really bulging! It looked ready to burst! Obviously, I didn't heed the directional arrows. I disconnected it, emptied the bits to /dev/null, reconnected it in the reverse direction, and Voila! Beautiful sound!

What a relief! So, only three starts because the arrows are not that clearly marked...

PS. I've since bought another set of cables to use on my PC. My goodness! It even works with pictures. My LCD now has at least twice the pixel count, mp3's sound like lossless, downloads are faster. BUT, the directional arrows hit again. So when switching from downloading to uploading, I have to switch the direction. But hey, you get used to it and it IS worth it!

1.0 out of 5 stars Holding out for a better cable, June 24, 2008
This IS an excellent cable and certainly a quantum leap in cable design. But I'm gonna wait for the officially licensed "World of Warcraft" Ethernet Cable of the Elder, with +42 bit rate, +28 spell critical and improving all drop rates by 19%. Really. It's coming out in tandem with the Lich King expansion. Uh, huh. :P
