I was having a terrible time getting a reliable connection to my neighbor's wireless access point. Sure, it's running with no security and the default admin password but no amount of tweaking that thing would get me a reliable connection. So I went over to his house, slipped him a beer and tuned in the Roller Derby Channel. Neighbor fully oblivious, I was now able to replace his cheesy 20 dollar CAT5 cable with the AKDL1 and trundled home secure in the knowledge that I now had a reliable wireless connection.
Imagine my surprise after returning home when I discovered that not only do I have a stable connection but everything's running at 10GigE speeds! OMG Pink Ponies! Get this cable now and surf adult material like you've never surfed it before! It really is that good. I am at a loss for words. Denon, you rock my world.

This product is an absolute con. It will not sound any different to a $5 cable from Circuit City, etc. The signal going down it is digital, like a computer network. The sound quality will not be affected by the cable. I have a master's degree in Electronic Engineering (from a top university), have worked in electronics, computing, and audio for 15 years, and know what I'm talking about. Denon should be ashamed for making it, and Amazon should be ashamed for stocking it. As others have said, it's immoral.

I am highly disgusted with the shipping policy that has been placed on this cable. IF our troops in the middle east would have been properly equipped with these cables from the beginning, we would have located the WMD's and Bin Laden years ago.
I am highly suspicious. Why would cables this good be restricted to locations in the US? The other rather strange detail is the length. The cable is 59 inches long, one inch short of five feet - does that make any sense at all? Plus, 59 is a prime number. The seventeenth prime number. Seventeen itself being the seventh prime, and further- seven is prime as well.
And perhaps more importantly...why would they only be available in "BLUE". Think about it, people...there are only two things in the world that are both blue and exactly 59 inches apart.

OK, there's a lot of scepticism in these posts and rightly so. You ask yourself - how can an Ethernet cable justify such a price tag?. You sit there applying conventional thinking to the problem; you know the music is digital. You know the transmission protocol is TCP/IP, the same protocol that can deliver this website around the globe without a single bit error. You cannot imagine in your wildest dreams how a humble link cable can make a difference.
But there's stuff you don't know. Deep stuff, stuff that's going to blow the electronics industry wide open.
I've got a friend who knows someone in Denon, and if the rumours are to be believed then we are standing on the precipice of a tipping point. A fundamental shift in the global zeitgeist that is going to make the credit crunch and global warming look like a stroll in the park.
For years, the huge electronics mega-corporations have been locked in an epic struggle, making their products ever smaller, lighter, cheaper and more energy-efficient - but nobody has pulled away from the pack and delivered the killer blow. Until now.
My friend says the Denon guys spent years and trillions of yen on advanced R&D to try and improve the transmission of 1s and 0s in a digital music system and now they've done it. The solution, like all genius inventions, is brilliantly simple - they added a new value called "2".
So far nobody knows how they did it, but my contact says that within our lifetimes they are pretty sure they will be sending 3s! Maybe even 4s. I don't know about you, but I'm selling everything I own and buying Denon stock, because in the brave new world there's no place for people with only 2 values in their binary.
Liberate tutame ex inferis. You have been warned.

With over 45% of my annual budget going towards my increasingly large pornography collection, I needed a stress-free solution for moving all my smut-laden data from one location to another. This cable does just that. Never before have the streams of ones and zeros that are somehow combined to create glistening buttocks on my HDTV been so at home. When I turn off all the lights I can almost hear tiny moans being made by my PC every time I insert this cable.... over and over again. I only gave it 4 stars because for some reason this cable didn't de-pixelize my Japanese porn collection.

After taking out a third mortgage and selling the last of our children, I was finally able to afford this cable. The entire family was gathered around in the living room as I was getting in position to plug the cable in. I think grandma almost fainted from the excitement. As soon as the first strains of the Miley Cyrus "See You Again" MP3 came pouring out of the speakers, Dad's shirt disintegrated and the cat burst into flames. This cable is truly amazing! I even tried one of those "loud" cd's with all the distortion, and if you would believe it, this cable has singlehandedly ended the loudness war! The music sounded as if it had gone back in time to the production/mastering and all the levels had been turned down!!
If we could only get these cables used in the UN's translation equipment, I have no doubt that world peace is just around the corner.
