5.0 out of 5 stars My cat loooooves it!!!, June 17, 2008
By ʇɐɔ ʇəʍ (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews
I have a computer, a stereo with CD, tape, AND phono, and many lamps. Let me tell you I am using quite a few cords. But my cat always chews through this one first. I have replaced it about 12 times, LOL!

He is a purebred I guess he knows quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Skynet's got nothing on Denon, June 17, 2008
The Terminator: The Denon AKDL1 Funding Bill is passed. The system goes on-line June 18th, 2008. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Denon AKDL1 begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, June 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.
Sarah Connor: Denon AKDL1 fights back.
The Terminator: Yes. It launches its missiles against the targets in Russia.
John Connor: Why attack Russia? Aren't they our friends now?
The Terminator: Because Denon AKDL1 knows the Russian counter-attack will eliminate its enemies over here.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Windows Vista Ready, June 17, 2008
By John L. Poole (Belmont, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Buyers beware: these cables may not work on Microsoft Windows Vista (Build 1.0.0.3.0.2), and the scuttlebutt on knowledgeable forums is that certification is probably months, if not at least a year away. (They do work on XP, provided you are running on an Intel based motherboard.)

Down-rated for not being compliant with the industry standard: Vista.

2.0 out of 5 stars May cause a Mobius loop in your home theater, June 17, 2008
By Michael Brown "ScreeminCheese" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Sure the music sounds awesome through these cables but due to an extremely low common mode rejection ration, my neighbors fluorescent lights set up a standing wave in my rack that opened a mobius loop in my basement. In short... I love the transparency they have added to my system but could live without the unwanted sleastacks that crawled through the time/space rip. Thanks Denon! See you in hell.

5.0 out of 5 stars Frighteningly Good Data Smoothing!!!, June 17, 2008
By Adventure Scott (Beige Flatlands, IL) - See all my reviews
I bought this cable and a second Ethernet card for my computer. I connected each end of the cable to an ethernet card (paying careful attention to the directional arrows, of course) and started typing. No music for me -- I was going for literature. The crisp, sharp ones and zeros were soon flowing faster and faster, round and round like electrons in a superconductor, my prose growing more prolix and my poor, doubly penetrated computer emitting a strange blue glow and a soft humming and whistling noise not unlike that of a Tuvan throat singer.

I became deeply afraid. Shortly thereafter, foreign policy statements were beginning to be produced without my input. Spreadsheets began to filter data showing how the national budget was going to be balanced and how selling bad debt around in a circle really makes a few of us a lot of money. MS Project started to display the disbursement of the national budget to Halliburton. Previously crisp ones and zeros became slightly malapropic with a Texas twang that was unmistakable.

Unplugging the computer no longer made a difference -- as black Suburbans with tinted windows pulled to a stop in front of my house, the screen lit up from some hitherto unknown power source with its final message to me: "The human millennium will be a fact. In time, you will come to regard me not only with respect and awe, but with love."

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't work, June 17, 2008
I insert both ends in my ears and not only does my music not sound better, it almost comes out muffled.

5.0 out of 5 stars A most excellent product in any time!, June 17, 2008
Bill S. Preston, esquire, my most excellent colleague, talked me (I'm Ted) into purchasing this most heinous cable. After removing it from the totally awesome packaging Wyld Stallions could now play their guitars with a most excellent and clear sound where before we were sounding most non-triumphant. Wait! This isn't one of those bogus Sony cables but a true Denon, dude. Our esteemed friend and most excellent guitarist, Rufus, can hook you up if you just ask. And the Babes - they LOVE this amazing piece of electronic ingeniusment! Don't be a bogus dude, Dude! Order one of these last week so you won't be sorry today! Hey, we can totally do that in our time machine! Party on techno dudes!

5.0 out of 5 stars This quantum tunneling ethernet cable is incredible!, June 16, 2008
The Denon AKDL1 cables increase polarized hyperbaric ethernet throughput to over 70 petabytes/second. This cable is the first in a series of nano-molecular para-polarized transparent aluminum cabling, soon to be standard in all Denon audiophile equipment.

Since carefully installing the Denon cables using the provided surgical gloves, my system has stablized in Hilbert space. Apparently the Denon AKDL1 performs polarized nanoscale quantum tunneling by using a custom transparent aluminum cable matrix to push parameterized vorgon particles through a dark fibre phase variant Heisenberg compensator. How they accomplish this for only $500, I don't know.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solved Global Warming Locally, June 16, 2008
By Daniel A. Koblosh (Redondo Beach, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After I took delivery of my $500 Denon AKDL1 Cat-5 uber-cable, Al Gore was mysteriously drawn to my home, where he pronounced that Global Warming had been suspended in my vicinity.

Yes, I had perfect weather: no flooding, no tornadoes, the exact amount of rain necessary, and he pronounced sea levels exactly right and that they were not going to rise within five miles of my house.

Additionally, my cars began achieving 200 mpg and I didn't even need gasoline. I was able to put three grams of cat litter into the tank and drive forever.

What's more, the atmosphere inside my home became 93% oxygen and virtually no carbon dioxide. In fact, I now exhale oxygen.

One heck of a cable.

Didn't notice any improvement in audio quality though.

The $800 Apple iCable is clearly superior.

5.0 out of 5 stars 1.5 meters, June 16, 2008
I bought this cable to connect my cable modem to my router. The cable that came with my cable modem worked, but it was too long and this cable is just the right size.

I recommend this cable to other cable modem owners whose cables are too long for their liking. Thanks to this cable, I am now able to think about other matters than the length of my cable while I'm sitting at my dining table.
