5.0 out of 5 stars Quoted length misleading, June 19, 2008
By Brad Grenz (Salem, Oregon) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I thought I should mention that while this amazing cable is supposedly 1.5 meters long, I find this quite misleading. When I opened it at first glance 1.5 meters seems accurate. It certainly didn't feel much longer than 4-5 feet in my hands, but I have since used it to span much greater distances.

So far I have successfully used this cable to share my internet connection with my parents' house across town, create a wired network connection to a nuclear submarine in the Pacific and, most recently, share files with astronauts on the International Space Station in orbit around the Earth.

I'm not sure how any of this is possible. I suspect it is made of supermolocules, but this cannot be determined with any certainty.

I am currently planning on buying another cable and sending one end on a rocket to Alpha Centari in hopes of connecting my network to any alien civilizations there. I expect the faster-than-light communication features of this Denon cable will be a great asset in growing our knowledge through contact with other intelligent species.

5.0 out of 5 stars I got one for my computer, June 18, 2008
I liked my cable so much I bought one for my computer as well. Now my YouTube videos have much better bass definition, and the iTunes midrange is noticably warmer.

5.0 out of 5 stars You've never seen clearer 1s and 0s, June 18, 2008
I'm quite positive that this cable uses a clearer font to transmit the 1s and 0s from between my components. Sure you're thinking. . .all 1s and 0s are created and transmitted equally, right? Wrong! This cable only sends Times New Roman Bold typeface 1s and 0s. $500 is a bargain for for all the joy this cable has brought me. This cable is to that other junk that passes as Cat 5, as Flutie Flakes are to Wheaties. It's silly to even use the word digital to describe this cable, this cable looks down on digital and makes it feel embarrassed.

2.0 out of 5 stars Wormholes....2!!, June 18, 2008
By K. Teetson "Wormhole Man" (Another Dimension) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Let me just say that just like everyone else, I also had problems with slipstreams opening where I didn't want them to open. I too was in my basement when one opened up and sucked my cat in. A few minutes later my cat appeared in the washing machine(which was on) and died. I also had problems with the feature in which people appear nude. I don't like seeing Burt Reynolds nude in the original Longest Yard. And as I went to pick up my A1 steak sauce instead of seeing Jesus normal, I saw him nude....This cable is not for children or people who own animals....Dodge this cable.

1.0 out of 5 stars clang clang clang clang clang clang vitriol clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang , June 17, 2008
By owlberg (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
Previously, the Denon AKDL1 Dedicated Link Cable could only be obtained either by prescription or via the black market. But now, suddenly everything remains exactly the same. That fact, by itself, should add some much-needed gravitas to the scholarly debate on this controversial and highly irrelevant topic.

Nevertheless and notwithstanding, as with any first automobile purchase, all potential buyers should first consult a spiritual advisor BEFORE taking the Denon AKDL1 intravenously for recreational purposes. I cannot stress this highly. At ALL.

While well-tolerated in most domesticated animals, the Denon AKDL1 is not for everybody. Side effects may include headache, nausea, trouble swallowing, disorientation, incontinence, explosive diarrhoea, spontaneous combustion, menopause, chronic erogenous dissonance (CED), lethargy, gluttony, avarice, death, spontaneous mutation, gas, spontaneous gas, spontaneous lethargic gas (SLG), gout, the vapors, explosive spontaneous stupidity (ESS), death, Larry Fine Syndrome (LFS), blurred vision, post-nasal death (PND), spontaneous explosive hubris (SEH), goiter, weeping buboes, and dry mouth.

I feel confident in stating that most users will find the Denon AKDL1.

5.0 out of 5 stars To all the Haters, June 17, 2008
By Knuckles (San Francisco) - See all my reviews
Seriously, for all you haters out there, I too remember what it was like to be poor. I too used to look on with envy at Ferraris, Cartier watches, Learjets (incidentally, I recently upgraded to the Learjet 85, it tops out at Mach .82). But that's no reason to look askance at a superior product which, frankly, any poor person such as yourself could not possibly hope to understand. With my system (loosely modeled on Tom Vu's legendary sales methodology) you too could become rich enough to own a piece of audio perfection. But, frankly, unless you also apply yourself to the spiritual/intellectual study of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principal (as evidenced by Schroedinger's Cat and Copernican Revolution), you will fail to appreciate the nuances of the Denon AKDL1 that make it worth the price. So, make fun if you like, but you only showcase your shocking ignorance of the profound. People with refined sensibilities buy Denon and the rest can - as the luminous intellect Tom Friedman said - "Suck. On. This."

1.0 out of 5 stars Analog concepts in a Digital world, June 17, 2008
By Dodger (New Zealand) - See all my reviews
A quote regarding high end digital cables.

"I wish people would learn what "digital" means. In the old days when everything was analog, using a better wire to connect devices might indeed have some benefits. Even now, the connection between the receiver and the speakers is analog so using better wire can have some sonic effects.

However, when the transmission is _digital_ (as in HDMI), all the receiving end needs to be able to do is to tell whether a bit is a 1 or a 0. It doesn't matter at _all_ whether the bit is 1% beyond the detection threshold or completely at the limit for the medium (i.e truly at zero volts or at 5.00 volts if that is the max allowed). If the detector sees a "1", it sees a "1". The "1" doesn't get any better or any cleaner because the analog voltage on the wire was closer to the "ideal" voltage for a "1"."

5.0 out of 5 stars Adults only!, June 17, 2008
I tried using the cable between my router and my computer and--all of a sudden--all pictures from the internet show women with highly detailed see-through clothing! Also, it looks as though someone did a nice touch-up on their hair and make-up...fine lines and wrinkles have been magically removed, and their hair looks like they just walked out of the beauty salon. Overall, an amazing internet cable whose ability to change digital data for the better is right out of the 25th century (or beyond)...but be careful about who might be surfing the web through this cable from the future!

2.0 out of 5 stars It helped me see Jesus, June 17, 2008
By ianp "ianp" (San Francisco, CA.) - See all my reviews
As soon as I received these cables I decided to test them by heading over to YouTube to download some clips of the Chipmunks singing Christmas carols. Man, I sure love their sweet singing, but it wasn't the wisest of choices.

See, I keep on my computer desk a bottle of A1 steak sauce at all times because it's a really good ointment. If you have skin infections or problems with athletes foot, nothing works better. You never know when your pinky toe starts itching, it's even better than Gold Bond.

Anyways, as soon the Chipmunks started singing I was getting this wierd class 3 resonance effect which caused my computer to explode and my bottle of A1 to shatter. Shocked isn't the word for it, but it gets even better! As soon as the smoke cleared I noticed that where my A1 bottle once stood, I had this sauce splatter, still smoldering, and it was in the image of Jesus. Hallelujah!!!!!

Thank you Denon!
