Anyone heard of 'Clearview' from Mapleshade??

I recieved a booklet from this company Mapleshade, and sounds like they offer good isolation products and cables. I was interested in their 'Clearview Double Helix' speaker cable and their 'Ribbon interconnects.' i also understand they have a 'state of the art' recording studio where they specialize in very fine recordings from artist using the best (and less) electronics, mics, cables when making a recording. If anyone has heard of, or experience with thier cables - good or bad - please let me know. My speakers currently are Logan Ascents. Thanks.

I had to return a set of their IC's because of interference (60 hz hum). They honored their money back warranty with no problem. (no reflection on their quality... this type of cable is not able to reject RF...)

I have used thier Silclear and like it and have bought about 5 of thier recordings and enjoyed them as well - they do sound a bit more natural than average. No experience with their speaker cable but their are other discussions of the double helix here. Search for the term to find the thread

If you don't require extensive shielding, the interconnects are a pretty good value. I have not heard the speaker cables, but a couple of audio acquaintances were unimpressed, citing an absence of bass with those cables in place. I have used, and still use, the ribbon interconnects in my SET system, and they seem to go well in a tubed environment.
