We bought our cables directly from the manufacturer about 2 years ago.
I am not sure how much more info I can give you on the blind testing because I think I was very clear on how we do our testing. We have tested over 400 different brands and normally have our top 10 brands on hand at all times. We do introduce new brands about every 2 months but truthfully the top 10 brands are very good. I really dont want to trash other brands or ever pretend that my opinion is correct; so I will say most of our testing has been preformed against name recognition brands. We found there were good and bad things about all the brands except HiDiamond which had no negatives and scored perfect scores with several of their cables.
