Price Paid:  $99.00 from Stereo Design

Summary:
I bought these cables at a local Hi-End audio retailer. At first, I wasn't too eager to listen to these as the price point was less than half of the cables I usually buy. I am a firm believer that cables can truly degrade the sound quality of the system, and so I don't mind spending a few hundred on a nice pair of RCAs.
But after listening to these, and a pair that was almost 3 times the price difference, I was quite impressed. They provided the same detail and punch as much more pricier cables, and were leagues better than other cable brands such as Monster, which I feel are a total scam.
If you want a great pair of cables, without breaking the bank, these are the way to go. You do pay a price with the PINK color, but then again, the sound is amazing for the price.
I eventually replaced all my RCA interconnects to this brand of Sonic Link cables, and have never looked back since!

Strengths:
Great bass control. Exceptional detail and ability to maintain soundstage. Very musical sounding cables.
Solid gold connectors. I also like the flexibility of loosening and tightening the connectors, and also the added flexibility the spring on the connectors provides

Weaknesses:
The color is about all the weakness this cable has.

Summary:
Great cable for the money, you can't go wrong with SonicLink Whisper. It is flexible and comes in good packaging, but the connectors are what I like about this cable. This brand is later changed its name to Black Rhodium, both are not cool anyway. It sounds quite neutral and has enough detail from the top to the bottom. It is an excellent choice for a cable under $150.

Strengths:
Smooth tops and bass extension; not courlor music too much, very neutral.

Weaknesses:
It's PINK, YUCK! can be overbright at high volume

Summary:
This cable was tested against similarly priced silver on copper interconnect and another best by awardee cable, qnex2.non silver. Van den hul d102 Tributaries SCA 100 QED Qnex 2

Strengths:
At its price point, there is non to match its prowess most especially since the cable presented a very liquid beguiling mids. If vocal rendition is your priority, this excells over the QED Q2. Soundstaging was equally at par with the other cables except the VDH. Lost out to the tributaries and VDH, but at its modest cost than the 2, there is no contest. The QED is its closest price match, i would choose this over the qed.

Weaknesses:
none

Summary:
Formerly known as Sonic Link Silver Pink/Whisper, now called Black Rhodium Rhythm which, according to Glen Trafford of Canadian Hi-Fi, are both the same cables with the only difference of the jacket being white instead of pink. By replacing the Qed Qunex 2 - which I had been using for more than half a year - with the Rhythm interconnets make my system sing so much better than it used to. I believe I've found the perfect match for my system which includes: Marantz CD6000SE Nad C350 Tannoy 3-way tower speaker Audioquest Type 2+ & 4+ (personally prefer Type 2+ as I am not a big fan of strong bass) It is needless to extend this review by saying how good these cables are as the 10 reviewers above have already said it all. Glen Trafford carries a full range of Black Rhodium products that can be ordered online at www.canadianhifi.com or by phone at tel: 306-522-4434. No, I do not work for the store, I am indeed just a happy customer who feels the need of spreading the good words about the excellent service provided by Glen.

Strengths:
Everything

Weaknesses:
None on my system
