JW Audio Signature Interconnect - I can't get anyone even to try them


I recetntly posted an ad for them on Agon, and it has generated very little interest. I'm offering a 30 day trial with refund if not happy. These cables have been my reference for many years and sounded better than anything I've owned including a pair of $1200 Audioquest silver. I recently found Iconoclast to be incrementally better, but it retails for $1740. 

Does anyone have any suggestions?

If a long-time member here with a trusted sales history is interested in just trying them, I will send you a pair if you are willing to pay for shipping both ways. Let me know what you think of them. I think you will be surprised at how good they are.

If you live anywhere near me at 53005, bring your cables over for a comparison. My system consists of a Luxman L590AXII, dCS Debussy Dac with a dCS Network Bridge connected to Canton Reference 8C floorstanders or  ProAc Response 1SC monitors.

(1) @stereo5 +1. Kinda nailed it, sir. They are not a popular cable brand and absent a meaningful published sales history . The lion’s share of buyers choose mainstream brands that they can easily pass on by trade or sale. The competition of performance among cables is huge with a large cohort of members steering towards mainstream brand that are performance peers and better .


(2) personal cable Auditions on YOUR system don’t provide any meaningful basis for a synergy assessment to buyer in HIS bespoke system in his bespoke listening arena. Hence It won’t provide more hyperbole than a mag review or a YouTube video .The fact that you have no personal audition acceptance yet regrettably speaks volumes .

(3) Offering a take-it-home audition wild card option to prospective buyers is limited to a trusted local resident paltry few; it’s unacceptable high risk and not a doable option for 99+% of prospective buyers.

Carry on but Choose wisely

To me problem number 1 is you're trying to sell a brand most folks never heard of. Problem number 2 is you're asking 80% of your stated retail price. Regardless of how wonderful you think these "rare" (your listing word) cables are you're not going to get 80% of retail, 30% maybe. 

+1, @facten 

Consider yourself lucky if someone would pay 30% of full retail. Discounted cables, unknown brand…you might as well hang on to them. May be you can use them in a 2nd system. When I couldn’t sell my Signal Cables at 30%, I ‘donated’ them to a friend who was building a 2nd system.
