Review 1 of 16

Price Paid:  $80.00

Summary:
I think this cable is fantastic with budjet equipement. I immediatly noticed clearer highs and speed to the music. I din't think they are fof a bright system. Partner them with entry level stuff and wow you ereally hear improvements. I have upgraded to very expensive cables but still keep these guys around for secondary roles sucj as my multi disc player, tape deck, vcr. That's saying alot. For me nordost are the best cables money can buy up to red dawn. Buy these withput reservation, improvements will be heard, great cable.

Strengths:
Clarity and speed

Weaknesses:
Alittle bright but most budjet systems need alittle life anyway.

Review 2 of 16

Price Paid:  $80.00 from Wilson's Audio

Summary:
I bought these audio interconnect cable to replace or upgrade my systems' 5.1 wiring and replace my Monster reference grade cable. I bought these wire because they are recommended buy from the magazine What Hi-Fi. I did not really care for these much after a week of listening. Luckily, my dealer has been kind enough to allow me to replace them with Straighwire's Level 2 Chorus. Here is what I did not like about them. They are particularly bright with my system. They also added a hisssss sound to my system. This is very evident when you play Diana Krall. When she stops singing, in the background you hear hissss. I agree with some of the comments here that these are detailed,dynamic and warm sounding but in my experience, they can also add noise to your system. I could not convince myself that they were worth the $80 per 1 meter cost. I do not recommend these interconnect.

Strengths:
Clarity, detail, and dynamic

Weaknesses:
noisy, and could be bright with certain systems. Partner carefully

Review 3 of 16

Price Paid:  $72.00 from VV&Sons. (UAE)

Summary:
I am furious that they do not sell these in an obtainable place in Minnesota. All the sound that is outputted from the HDTV decoder, DVD Player, and Xbox play on the stereo. Flatline speaker cables are the exact same thing as a Black knight interconnect. Electronics stores are extremely obnoxious to hide this product from consumers.

Strengths:
Excellent Bass, Excellent musical dynamics 10 times better than the Monster reference 2

Weaknesses:
Cats chew on it so I have a whole drawer full of nordost products I bought in Abu Dhabi and Dubai(UAE)

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
