In life one rarely encounters a product of such complete and total perfection. The so called dedicated link cable from Denon's nearest competitor is positively shambolic by comparison. This product costs US$500 and in my opinion that is bloody value for such quality and best in class performance. The cable installs, at each end, into it's receptacle with a satisfactory click. I spent hours simply plugging and unplugging it, then it was time for the purging of ear particulate mater. Through the usual high pressure water/vacuum method recommended by auditory wizard Harry Earl Winston III I was ready to experience this gift from the gods. Immediately thereafter I walked into the music chamber and closed the airlock door. I placed upon the golden turntable Pachelbel Canon in D Major and began to power up the sundry equipment and surround speakers. Two hours later I sat upon the ice block and switched on the final power button. In an explosion of sound I was warped into another dimension. Something was wrong, but oh, so right. My Denon AKDL1 Dedicated Link Cable with its high-purity copper wire had instantly accelerated Mozart from 40 beats per minute to almost 400,000,000,000 beats per second. As it pulsed through my existence shredding and then recombobulating by intellect, my senses and awareness were transcended. I instantly became a greater being, a provider of life and a devourer of worlds. I now speak 500 Earth languages, read minds and can read the nutritional information on a box of Count Chocula from more than a thousand kilometers away in an instant.
I live now amongst the sherpas in the ancient and hidden Rolwaling valley region north of Kathmandu where they treat me as a man-god. Am I a god? Can I drive my enemies out before me with merely a thought? Can I hear the lamentations of their women and children? I am reticent! Although I am legally deaf in any spiritually bankrupt Occidental reckoning, I hear the world with my mindsey...ears. and my mind speaks to you with is minds...mouth: 'I command thee obsequious fools, buy these cables for the salvation of mankind!'
Now I must leave you as my servant prepares to roll me to the palace gardens for contemplation time.

I bought the cable, and now my poop doesn't stink, I can eat ice cream sundaes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and I still lose 10 lbs a day! My teeth have never been whiter, and .... oh, what's the point.
I would love to see the list of people who actually bought this thing. They should be forced to have the word "GULLIBLE" tattooed on their forehead as a warning to others (and a guide for Circuit City sales staff to improve our lagging national economy).

Since the fairground accident, I thought I would never walk again. But when my great uncle, an orthopedic surgeon, showed me Denon's wondrous new technology in the Journal of the American Medical Association, I elected to try this new breakthrough in medical science.
Early this March, a team of surgeons at Stanford University Hospital removed my spine and replaced it with the AKDL1. I never thought I would walk again, but in early April, I took my first steps. And two months later, today, I am walking on the beach. Also I have spontaneous teleportation abilities.
Thanks, Denon, for making me laugh about life again. Denon. Won't you?

I rewired my media room this past weekend and I could not be happier. I was weened on albums growing up, real, genuine albums and I always thought that no CD could beat their true, warm sound. That was before Denon. I swear, it sounds like the Beatles are playing there right in front of me. Also, I am a sufferer of ED and hadn't made love to my wife in years, the night I installed these bad days I was good to go ;)

For months now, I've been working towards my dream of shooting a foam dart from an automated, ethernet-controlled nerf gun orbiting the Sun back to Earth. And like an idiot, I've been using regular ethernet cables! As another commenter already noted,
"Normal copper cables pass signals at about half the speed of light, but these puppies pass the signal at up to 3/4ths of lightspeed!"
I've been waiting a whole 16+ minutes just for my launch signal to reach the dart! With this piece of human genius incarnate, I've gotten that down to 12. When you're already waiting several years to get your foam darts back, that means something.
The "tin-bearing alloy shielding" has also really cut down on the impact of harmful cosmic radiation.
I defy you to think of a better use for 41 trillion dollars.

I bought this cable and not only does my music sound better, it has improved all my country and western no end. Now I got my girlfriend back, my pickup works better than before, and my dog came back from the dead.
Thanks Denon!

If you are a parent you'll know what I'm talking about. I used this cable to improve the audio to my baby monitor. Now I can hear her breathing, pulse, everything. Yesterday, I heard a strange heart rhythm as she slept (I was watching a Family Guy rerun -- the one where Brian has eaten dental floss? Gross!) I checked on her, and decided to take her to the hospital as a precaution. It turned out to be nothing, but the look in her eyes! I've never seen a 14-year-old girl so pissed off at being woken up for nothing.
But who am I kidding -- audiophiles don't mate.

I've been waiting forever to find this at a discount and now that Amazon has cut the price $1 (that's 0.2% off!!) I'm going to stock up. I'm just glad they still had ten in stock!
