5.0 out of 5 stars Has many uses, June 21, 2008
My wife and I find it adds a certain sparkle to the night time proceedings when used as a flogger in naughty nigh time play (she uses it on me BTW) whilst playing some Billy Joel on the HiFi. It makes the music feel so much more present, as if Billy himself was in the room, his disembodied floating head in the sound stage whispering to me to "take it like his little lady-boy"... this is the sign of a quality interconnect!

Highly recommended. We are saving up to buy another for insertion next.

4.0 out of 5 stars Needs to Have +3 versus Astral Terrors, June 21, 2008
I bought this cable because Morgort the Mighty says he uses a $350 audio cable to strangle HIS enemies and he isn't better than I am just because he wears a belt of Fire Giant strength! I ordered this cable and it arrived on the back of a pegasus (FedExian the Winged Messenger) within 3 moons. Excellent! As an 8th level Psionic Warrior, I was eager to hop into the Astral Plane and see what kind of damage this baby could inflict against astral filchers!

Well...it was OK, but this thing really needs a + THREE enchantment instead of only +2. See, it was forged on the material plane, so it becomes only +1 in the Astral Plane and that's just not enough to overcome the damage reduction of the Githyanki I'm running into all the time. It's a nice garrote, but tell me if you can find a neck on an astral ghost and I'll give you 50 gold pieces for the info! It works just fine on the Material Plane, but who cares about that? If I want to whip someone with a cable on my OWN plane, I'll just use a mighty whip +4!

The bard Amazon sings constantly of this cable, supposedly forged on Mt. Gulfwarden by the dwarves of Denon...but I think it's just a Calimshan knockoff made from melted-down Lubaskan coppper pennies and old Athabascan smallclothing...In any case, it's at least stylish and good for astral encounters up to CR 6. But for the discriminating warrior, you're better off with a flaming greatsword or a ghost touch halberd.

The worst part is when I went over to Morgort's yurt the other day and he showed me all his Astral trophies he keeps in a pocket dimension...color me GREEN with envy! All he kept saying was, "Oh, how's that cable of YOURS doing? "


ARRRRRRRRRRRRGH

5.0 out of 5 stars I used to be Gay...., June 21, 2008
Until I plugged this baby into my Denon receiver and cranked up some Toby Keith.

Now, I can't even look at a man and not feel completely repulsed! What was I thinking?????

Thank you, Denon!!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars No, John. You are the Denons, June 20, 2008
By Bill Burman (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews
Be sure to buy the warranty. Totally worth the extra $300.

I went out for some tacos, and my dog chewed through the cable while I was gone. When I got back, there was musics all over my floor! I was like, "Hey Bosco, look what you did!" He felt bad, and it took a long time to clean, but things are OK now.

I asked the vet if Bosco was going to be OK, and he said "yeah, but he'll be pooping Top 40 hits for a few days." No big. I met a cute girl when I took him to the park and he dropped a big steaming pile of In Da Club.

I returned the cable to Denon, and since I had the warranty, and paid the $75 processing fee plus $29 for shipping, they gave me a new cable, no questions asked. Thanks Denon!

1.0 out of 5 stars Skeptics lose out, June 20, 2008
For years my music sounded plain. The strings did not shimmer. The soundstage was narrow, confined, compressed. The music had an analytical feel, perhaps because it's all digital, and digital is not musical.

The problem, I decided was that my bits were not musical. It's hard to say why. I suspect that the bits had too many odd harmonics, and not enough even harmonics.

This cable apparently filters the bits to create more pleasing harmonics.

Is $500 a lot to pay for pleasing harmonics?

1.0 out of 5 stars This cable is so good, I have to give it a negative review, June 20, 2008
By Sriram Gopalan (Foster City, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is not your usual audio link cable. It is well worth the $500.

Why you ask? Because this cable not only passes signals through but improves it. For example, if you try to play awful music like K.Fed or Paris Hilton, it automatically converts it all to songs by the Beatles or the Stones.

Tell me, can your cheap cable do that?

The only reason I give a bad review is because I personally hate the beatles and stones and I am the world's number one K-Fed fan! This cable would not let me listen to the greatest hip-hop singer in the history of the universe.

So, as cool as it is, I had to return it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not For Everyone, June 20, 2008
By Paul C. Yago "sempai" (San Francisc, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you think that the sexy-looks, the price, or the jealous looks on your friend's faces makes this cable worth having, then maybe you're right. But honestly, if that's all that you're buying it for, then I'd save your money.

Ask yourself honestly... have you ever been troubled by adverse effects from vibration? I'm talking of the vibration going on all around us. It's usually very subtle; caused by a distant construction zone in a nearby town, an earthquake 3000 miles away, your neighbors upstairs, etc. Have you ever listened to a song and thought "If I can't thoroughly eliminate the vibration, then I don't want to listen to that song ever again!". Well, after getting this cable... it was as though the earth stood still. I was hearing instruments and harmonies and studio equipment creaking and the musicians breathing.... and along with this the most unimaginable sublime droning of pure beauty. This is the only way I can describe it. At some level it was as though I was awake for the first time in my life.

Some people won't get it. I understand and that's okay. I feel like the prince and the pea sometimes. Vibration just chafe's my soul. Sometimes I'm convinced that this is why they made this cable; it was made for me personally. Thanks Denon!

5.0 out of 5 stars A huge difference!!, June 20, 2008
By M. Salsbury (Columbus, Ohio) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
When my girlfriend found out I spent $500 on a cable she was a little upset. In fact, she beat me with them so badly I was in a coma for six months. When I awoke in the hospital things had changed - she used to look like Rosie O'Donnell, but now she looks like Jessica Alba!

This cable has made a huge difference, Thanks Denon!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars It's the construction, June 20, 2008
The directional markings are the really salient feature. The composition of the cables actually changes depending on how you plug it in.

Connected one way they are made of the echoes of the motion blur lines of Chuck Norris' side kick. The electrons beat light around the block.

Connected the other way it is woven from six things: the noise a cat makes in foot-fall, the beard of a woman, the roots of a rock, the sinews of a bear, the breath of a fish, and the spittle of a bird. In that configuration it will bind Fenris the Great Wolf until Ragnarok.
