I've never had problems with them. I've tried a bunch of their stuff and still have a set of MI-2 Veracity cables. I took advantage of their trial period on products and they were always quick to credit me with a refund. I suppose there is always someone who falls through the cracks no matter who the vendor is. Sorry to hear it was you.

La45 - try their speaker cables. I think you will be extremely surprised. Make sure to get the zobel networks. I had them build the zobel into the cable design, but you can get them separately (they're free) and hook them across your binding posts. Also splurge on their jumpers ($20) if you aren't bi-wiring.

Sounds like I'm the exception rather than the rule!

I continue to be amazed at how easily people anonymously will bash a vendor or manufacturer in public - here, for thirty dollars. Just what is the point of this? To announce to the world that its not wise to irritate you?

No, the point is to ensure that there is motivation to provide good customer service to people who spend hard earned money on expensive products and to warn others if a company does not live up to standards. If a company cannot provide civil and efficient service than it should know that people will hold it to task and share that information with others. I don't understand why anyone would have a problem with that. It's a basic concept in free market capitalism.

And the cables didn't cost $30 dollars...
