Silent Source cables-Need advice regarding customer service or lack of--

Guys- to make a long story short- I purchased the Music Ref. cables from Frank Dickens- After a week of emails and no responses he finally sent them after I was about to cancel my credit card- Great Cables- I just broke an RCA and Frank said to send it back- I overnighted them and have heard nothing since- I even wanted to purchase a longer length- Finally after a few weeks he emailed and said his computer cratered but would get to my cable by the end of the week- that was 2 weeks ago and still has not returned any of my many emails- i needed this cable back for X-mas holidays- Any suggestions as to what to do- It is very disappointing after spending many thousands of dollars with someone and wanting to possibly spend more to have zero communication in almost a month and around 10 email requests- I really hate to write this type of post but really need some advice as I want my cable back - thanks for the advice and have a Happy Holiday to all!!!

Yeah, I bought a pair of The Music Reference interconnects from fluffers, the OP, about 2 months ago.
Very nice cables indeed. I have them running between ARC Ref 5 preamp and Pass Labs XA-100.5 amps.

Frank is very difficult to contact, I can vouch for that. Great cables though.

As above- jmcgrogan2-

for any queries/issues reach out and touch John Fort. He works very closely w/ Frank.

It is good to read that you have discovered SS cabling. I was thoroughly impressed w/ these cables/power cords during my visit w/ John Fort Audio about 2 years ago. During my listening sessions, Silent Source (SS) does play very well w/ other brands, more on target with, Wireworld and Signal Cable, as one can mix and match to taste.

Happy Listening!

It is good to read that the ARC and Pass Labs are sonic matches.

No doubt that the REF5 SE is the best tubed pre-amp at this juncture, while Pass Labs, is the best solid-state currently.
More to discover
