Summary:
Best cable for the money that is out there. I use them with Outlaw 770 amps, 950 processors, Sunfire and Marantz equipment. These compare in sound quality to AudioQuest Diamondback and Coral, which I use also. Far better than the Monster MK400s I have used.

Strengths:
Construction quality and sound quality.

Weaknesses:
Interlocks are cool, but require small fingers.

Summary:
These cables are incredibly well built. They are hands down the best bargain out there in audio cables. These things sounded better than my old monsters the second I plugged them in. They are only improving with use. I noticed a much tighter bass response and improved clarity over my previous cables. Bottom line I am very happy with these cables and anyone on a budget would be too.

Strengths:
Great value, Great sound, Great build qulaity

Weaknesses:
I have the older oversized locking connectors, which are a tight fit into my cd player.

Summary:
My system contains a number of pairs of both 0.5-meter and 1.8-meter PCA's (price above is for the first 0.5-meter pair that I bought in 2001), including three pairs of 0.5-meter between a DVD-Audio player (Panasonic RA60) and pre/pro (Outlaw 950). A little over a year ago, I compared several different kinds of analog audio cables, trying to find the ones I liked the most. While TMC's expensive Yellow Label (retail $180/meter pair, typically available for under $100/meter pair at Audiogon) won top honors, Outlaw's PCA interconnects were right there with them. I preferred the PCA's to TMC's White Label, Magnan Vi's, BetterCables Silver Serpent, BetterCables Premium (discontinued several years ago), and Monster Cable's Interlink 400, even though the PCA's are the least expensive cables in the group. The locking RCA's are some of the better ones I've used; their one-piece design offers a more solid connection than the TMC's two-piece barrels (repeated use of the TMC locking barrels tends to cause the barrel tips to become loose). Early models of the PCA's had pretty wide connectors, which many people found difficult to fit side-by-side. Outlaw responded to these comments by changing the locking RCA barrel used to a smaller diameter barrel. I have a set of the new, smaller-diameter PCA's and have found them to be a definite improvement. Also, Outlaw introduced an intermediate length PCA last year, so they are now available in pairs in 0.5-meter, 1.2-meter, and 1.8-meter lengths.

Strengths:
build quality, price, sound quality and clarity

Weaknesses:
large locking connectors on the initial production runs (note that new cables use a smaller diameter locking barrel that eliminates this problem)
