5.0 out of 5 stars The struggle of Darkness and Light won by Denon., June 20, 2008
By Max Berman (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In the struggle for Darkness and Light, the human condition dictates that there can be no clear winners or losers. Pure forms of evil and good are human interpretations for theories beyond mortal comprehension. The Denon AKDL1 has turned modern agnostic thinking on its head by proving that through producing a cable manufactured from a copper of such purity, that evil cannot possibly exist. This, in turn proves that God exists ergo Heaven.

5.0 out of 5 stars Psychological benefits galore!, June 20, 2008
By J. Lewis (Newcastle, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
To all you doubters out there, this cable has clinically proven psychological effects. For instance it is known to be capable of hypno-theraputically inducing a rare mental disorder known as a Sense of Humour.

5.0 out of 5 stars Google to the rescue!, June 20, 2008
Don't any of you know that Google uses these cables to run their dark fiber network? Of course they only use the 300$ cables.. I Bought this cable and Sergey Brin himself asked if they could use my network to tripple Google's speed!

Now Im making millions renting to them, and all the hot fine ladies in the world love me!

1.0 out of 5 stars It's full of stars!, June 20, 2008
By S. Mayo - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
If Denon had captured the Divine light of creation and distiled it into 1.5 meters of ultramegaradioactive copper, it could not have been better than this cable. Just holding the packaging it comes in, I can see distant galaxies and, though you may not believe it, hear what the aliens there are thinking. THAT is how good this cable is. Just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes. Honestly, looking at it is better than foreplay. You feel wracking orgastic shivers just touching it. I just know that zeros and ones will achieve true integer perfection when they travel this cable. But I'm afraid to actually install it. I might die.

Denon has, in marketing this, permanently entered the rarified realm of vendors inhabited by the likes of Machina Dynamica. I honestly can't think of a better way to express my feelings on this product, than that. I'm breathless to see what they want to sell us next!

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrified, June 20, 2008
Me and my brother chose to listen chose Captain Beefhearts 'Trout Mask Replica' after setting up this cable with our Denon Home Theatre System.

The results are truly horrific. The first few seconds of silence before track one we could hear the universe inhaling before we were pressed into our respective couches and mutli coloured tartan was projected upon all surfaces in our basement. Barely able to speak or move with our fingers ripping into our arm rests, I turned to see my brother age 20 years in 5 seconds and his feet expanded like a rubber band across the floor and up the opposing wall to reach the ceiling.

Bear in mind all this happened before the twanging chords of Frownland had even kicked in - at which point I had noticed similar effects upon myself - I was suddenly wearing a 4 foot trout on each leg as trousers. Not only that but the walls of the basement had dissapeared and we were flying on our couches through what I can only describe as a burberry electrofunk acid poetry rift in time and space.

The most horrific thing of all was that after having spent 300 years crawling to the system to unplug said cable, my brother was unable to control the sheer power of such a quality signal and like an ancient psychedelic Mr Miyagi struggling with a running fire hose, pointed the beam directly into his face.

This was over 2 weeks ago - I am only now able to wield a keyboard, my finger nails having grown back. Since then my brother has randomly been appearing around our neighbourhood in a kind of mirror prison (like the one in the superman movie) only it's like he is trapped inside the album cover. (Trout Mask Replica)

For now this cable will remain where my brother dropped it. The equipment and entire basement are off limits until we break him out of his transdimensional prison.

Do not buy this cable.

5.0 out of 5 stars OMG..., June 20, 2008
This cable in unbelivable, I connected this puppy upto my PC and router, and it's made the world of difference, last night I managed to download the entire Internet to my PC in 10 nanoseconds, when I view pages, there are no load times at all, and all the p0rn looks so much better.

This is the best $499.99 I have ever spent, the fact it's now reduced by $1 is even better. Get one now, and download the internet instantly yourself...

The only downside, is you need a beefy PC, as my PC was on the verge of exploding the internet was downloading so quick.

3.0 out of 5 stars This cable is for the good of the few.. or the one., June 19, 2008
By Keith Wingo (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My best friend and I hooked up this Denon cable to my hi-fi system. Unfortunately my little sister, just before being grounded, turned on the CD player before me and my bud were ready. We tried to make it to the couch but the wave of incredible audio clarity enveloped us like an exploding nebula, I've never heard a Genesis CD sound so beautiful and yet be so terrified at the same time. My best friend sacrificed himself going behind the stereo system to reroute power to the out of phase amplifier. I buried my friend in a coffin the shape of a Star Trek branded MP3 player.

To boldly go where no audio has gone before..

1.0 out of 5 stars Strength In Numbers, June 19, 2008
By G. Mattione "Avid Reader" (Englewood, CO United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all of those who have commented on this product. It is through your hard work and perseverence that Denon has reduced the price of the product to the far more reasonable $499.99. It is amazing to me that a cable of this quality could be obtained for less than $500.00. AND FREE SHIPPING! Keep up the good work!

5.0 out of 5 stars To all you sceptics, this cable is the best audio cable for [...]!!!, June 19, 2008
I have purchased this cable for myself and several additional ones as a gift for all my audiophile friends, and I can guarantee you: everyone I know who wants to hear the difference hears the difference!

Denon specs can be found here:
[...]

"the AK-DL1 will bring out all the nuances in digital audio reproduction". Buy this cable, realize you spend $500 on it, and believe me you will start hear those nuances!

"Additionally, signal directional markings are provided for optimum signal transfer." as Denon says. I just cannot believe what a difference those signal directional markings make!

You just have to open yourself to what this marvelous little cable can do for you. Sure it is a digital signal sending a signal composed entirely of 0's and 1's. But sceptics just do not realize not all 0's and all 1's are created equally. Those 0's and 1's, after being transferred over this cable, seem to have acquired a quality that distinguishes them from ordinary 0's and 1's. What Denon has added here I would call `Shiny Bits technology'.

Sure, in the end this cable transmits a bunch of zeros and ones like any other digital cable. But if you really want to hear the difference, you will hear that those bits coming from this cable are much shinier than from cables costing less. Cheap cables seem to make your bits dull. I just cannot wait for the [...] super ultra premium version of this cable that several internet forums are buzzing about! My guess: that cable will sound about four times better than this one!
