"Don't sound great until they get several hundred hours on them"........
This is my rational,as to why I simply cannot believe the average(even fairly obsessed)hobbyist is simply NOT going to bother checking out more than one or two cables.Yes,we can try to do some homework,like getting as much design info as possible(I do this,alot).Maybe post a thread,questioning a cable's performance,in another hobbyist's set-up.Better yet,try to get feedback from friends.Plenty of us finally succumb to the "GREAT DEAL SYNDROME"(especially if said cable/component is expensively priced).There's always the "review",but alot of reviews are "make nice,I may want a permanent loaner some day"!
So,this leaves little,by way of options,other than use a little common sense,and make a few "choice" phone calls.
This hobby can be tough,when it comes to pushing the envelope.NO??
Best!
