My question is how trustworthy is Used Cables recommendations? Has anybody had any relative experience with them? They claim that they base their oppinions on some type of data base, but I am sceptical.
My gear is Sony SCD-1, Linar preamp2, Linar 250i, Gershman Avant Garde RX-20.
How about a quick synopsis of the thread?Just the conclusion maybe.I have been told as long as there are no obvious cracks inm dialectric or cover and wire hasn't oxidized (I assume seeing rust) that older cables shouldbe OK.But now off to archives I guess.Hope I can find thread. Chazzbo
I have dealt with them for years and find them knowledgable and fair. The other service they provide if you are having trouble making a decision is the lending library. Nothing like a in home/system demo to settle the question.
It's been a few years since I bought from them but they were very helpful when I was comparing speaker cables. I "believe" their matching database is based in large part on their sales data relative to the components in use by their customers at time of sale (e.g. what speaker cables have been sold to customers with Aerial 10T speakers).
They earn my highest praise. I have bought used and new cables over the years and been treated fairly and gotten great deals. The advice has been better.
