This thread is an entertaining read. The title of the thread clearly, is going to get the predictable responses. I'm listening right now, to my system WITH this maligned brand and it sounds gooood.
As long as you've tried it, and it doesn't fit with your sonic goals, how about just move to the next brand without the negative comments? There are several "giant killer"brands for cheap. Plenty of threads with users claiming their $200 speaker cable sounds just as good or better than Nordost cable.
