Tuneful Cables by High-End Audio

I've had them for years, in and out of various setups. Sometimes underwhelming but most of the time shockingly good. I just put them in again recently following a long stretch listening to KCI Silkworm+ and Audio Tekne interconnects. Now, I'm thinking I'll swap out the Audio Tekne speaker cables for my Belden 9497 set. I haven't had those in my system for a few years. The 8402's sound so fresh and alive. 

i like the tuneful/belden cables

nice story here, after the beloved listener and stereophile reviewer art dudley passed, i saw his daughter listing various of his hifi items, and one item i bought from her was his pair of these plain brown tuneful cables, which he obviously also enjoyed and wrote about

when communicating to purchase this set of ic’s i realized it was her, what was happening, and i told her how much i enjoyed her dad’s writings and when he gave up on his ’listener’ magazine, how sad i was that he couldn't sustain that publication

then when she sent me the cables she included a couple of his signed copies of listener that they still had in art’s home she was cleaning through... i already had the full set of listener issues of course, but it was very sweet of her to send me those copies he had signed, evidently for some publicity event/show

“I may stick with Nordost interconnects - Norse level Heimdall.”

There are certainly better options than pouring money into Nordost cable lineup below TYR2, IME.

Thanks for that sweet story Steve. I had a real affection for Art and was frequently on the same wavelength with his views on gear. That was really thoughtful of his daughter to send you that. It has a good home with you.

I agree with roxy54. What a memorable story and a keepsake you will cherish forever.
