5.0 out of 5 stars How much do I love this cable?, June 24, 2008
Well upon receiving this truly sexy cable I just held it up to my face for a minute... transcendental! I have never had a rush like that! Then I noticed that the cut on my hand had disappeared!! Wow. I broke a toe years ago .. never healed right so I wrapped this truly amazing cable around that foot.. guess what no more broken toe! So I thought being overweight I would try wrapping it around my middle... well I did lose 40 pounds but that wasn't the amazing thing. As the weight melted away the cable slipped downward from my stomach coming to rest on my... well just below my stomach. OMG! You would not believe the feeling. So I wrapped the cable around my .. well you know I sorta wrapped it with the cable.. and ... and then...

I'll be in my bunk..

1.0 out of 5 stars Seriously, June 24, 2008
By Steven R. Ewing (Cape Coral, Fl USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was forced to give this product a star to post my comments.

I work in the Professional Audio Industry and my company actually sells a good quanity of Denon-Marantz Professional products, and we have always felt that their product gives good value for the money. After seeing this item from their sister consumer division I have to say I think we may have to reconsider our use of Denon's product.

I have to ask do they have this product leftover from some government contract with NASA or DOD? Those are the only people I can think of that would be silly enough to buy this item. Can anybody say $500.00 hammer?

1.0 out of 5 stars Shipping to South Africa, June 24, 2008
By Connected (South Africa) - See all my reviews
I was *so* ready to purchase this, only to find out that the item cannot be shipped to South Africa.

Maybe I should get in touch with Robert Mugabe (from Zimbabwe, for those that are so taken aback by the quality of this product that they no longer follow topical events). He will surely be able to pull some strings, now that he no longer has to worry about that other imbecile.

But I digress, some of my friends with connections are now even better connected since buying this item. There is simply no other connection like this, especially not in Africa.

1.0 out of 5 stars Its only imagination, June 24, 2008
About a year ago, i read a cable-test in an european Audio-magazin.
They compared different high-priced audiocables, made from gold and whatever else. they also entered 3 standard audio-cable, a ultra-cheap cable and a wire-made coathanger in this test. They were absolutely perplexed by the results and expanded the test.
Except for the ultra-cheap cable wherein the chble hasn't been soldered to the connectors, there were no hearable differences between all the cables. Even the coathanger performed like a goldcable.
But when the Listeners were told, they were listening to a standard- or goldcable, they could hear they richer sound from the gold-cable. Even if in reality, they were listening to the coathanger.

The final advice the editors gave their readers.
Don't spend money on 100 Euro (= abount 150$) goldcables. Buy cables for 10 Euros (abaut 15$) and spend the saved money on better speakers.
You really can't hear the difference between a 10 end a 100 Cable. But 2000 Euro or 2500 Euros for speakers coud make a different listening experience.

But if your imagiantion demands you to buy expensive cables, we wont stop you......

2.0 out of 5 stars Saddened with a touch of melancholy., June 24, 2008
I hoped this cable would clear up a problem I was having. Sadly it didn't. My Commodore 64 is still really slow. It did tie a ladder on to my truck really well.

3.0 out of 5 stars Quite different from what I was expecting, June 23, 2008
By Jacob King (South Bend, IN) - See all my reviews
I'm kicking myself for not buying on Amazon. I picked up this bad boy in a retail store for what I thought was a bargain closeout price of $749.99, but logging on here, I realize that stupid Radio Shack has ripped me off yet again.

I bought this cable for my new HiFi system because I heard that this is the same one that industry professionals rely on every day for their most complex sound patterns.

As a stress test, I used my stereo with this new cable to watch an Eddie Izzard standup routine I'd recorded on VHS. Let me tell you, the difference in sound was PHENOMENAL. With this new cable, I can suddenly understand every word he says as if he were speaking in a Midwestern American accent. Also, now the tape shows him dressed in men's clothes. For this, I give Denon ten stars.

However, there are some drawbacks to this wonderful new technology. My CDs still skip occasionally, although I probably just need to throw out my audio rack and invest in building a new one from scratch--I doubt the cable is at fault. Also, whenever I try to give it a bath, it refuses to let me remove its nylon covering, or allow me to be in the room when it is bare. However, I suppose this should be expected from a higher quality product. When I buy my companionship, the more expensive ones are a little more particular about nudity protocol.

Overall, an excellent investment for anyone who needs a friend.

5.0 out of 5 stars The cable that never says die!, June 23, 2008
I was particularly interested in the anti-aging properties of this item, so with a quick loop around my neck, I was able to confirm that this cable can indeed slow time as we know it. Unfortunately I have been cursed to live out eternity in the nightmares of others. Tonight, I will be haunting the spirit of Noel Lee of Monster Cable, for getting us all into this mess. He is going to dream that he has awakened to a world where "Monster" is used in the names of all businesses and commercial products. Well, I guess my fate isn't so bad after all. Merry Christmas Mr. Lee! Next up; Amar Bose.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life-saving cable, June 23, 2008
By A. Cathro "adamc68" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I had a choice - get this cable or pay for my gran's life-saving operation.

I opted for the cable, and I'm so glad I did. It's made no difference whatsoever to my hi-fi equipment, but now my grandmother is dead. And I couldn't stand her.

Thanks Denon!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must buy for all academics., June 23, 2008
I'm not an audiophile, I just like to buy quality stuff, which this must be. I bought this cable a month ago. Long story short, I'm almost done with my Bachelor in Physics (B.Sc), but last friday word came from my place of study that I had passed my PhD dissertation with Summa Cum Laude honors.

I'm convinced that I have to thank these cables for that feat. I've saved about 5 years of work, which I can now spend watching the DVD's I never had time to watch. Btw, the sound is okay.

Oh, while I remember it, I have to mention that these cables helped me find Jimmy Hoffa on my way home from the store. A definite recommend!
