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, @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. |
When looking for used cables, I just check hifi shark. It would list anything up for sale anywhere, even the stuff here on audiogon. A word of advice, go on hifi shark and see if any of your cables are up for sale anywhere and simply beat their price. That will be much more effective than your auditioning offers. |
The Admins of Audiogon really are an enigma. They delete posts after posts because someone says the wrong word, uses the wrong pronoun, farts without saying excuse me, etc. etc. But they are like crickets when someone makes a post that is nothing but an ad for a product being sold. LMFAO
To the author of this thread -- your cables aren’t getting a sniff because you have them at a ridiculous price, just like most of the gear offered on Audiogon. Face reality...it doesn’t matter if "2 year old awesome, gold plated, sprinkled with Unicorn poop" cables are being offered 60% below retail, because the retail price of multiple thousands of dollars was multiple thousands of dollars OVERPRICED to begin with. Sometimes I truly wonder if 99.99% of those in this hobby are billion dollar Trust Fund babies. |
Jumping in on what most of the rest have already said. No Name cables don't sell- at almost any price. Used top quality, well known nad reviewed cables sell at 50% off or even deeper discounted- the assumption is that the original buyer could have bought them brand new for 30-40% off MSRP so used they have to go for less. And I agree, posting a thinly veiled "ad" here in the forum is not the best approach. |
Even if I come over for an audition and they sounded fantastic, say the best I have ever heard, I would have to get them for almost nothing because I would never be able to sell an unknown name cable. I would have to think that I would own these cables forever and I never keep any audio gear forever. good luck |
