new Triode Wire Labs rave review at StereoTimes

Because in direct comparison with many other cables in many different systems it is a clear winner time and time again (regardless of the physics or engineering process behind them).

Dalig: Valid points. Any review must be discounted, IMO.

So why would one want this cable -- that is, for rational reasons?

What is the most important reason in purchasing an audio product? How about it sounds good in YOUR system?

I have no experience with TWL but heard they offer a trial period so you got nothing to lose.

" Because in direct comparison with many other cables in many different systems it is a clear winner time and time again (regardless of the physics or engineering process behind them). "

The problem is, when you read a scientific sounding explanation and it makes very little sense --and that is a euphemism for misleading---, it leaves you wondering why you should trust anything else about the review.

ps: where are the direct comparison with many other cables recorded?

The Litz braiding is one of the noise reduction techniques utilized in the cord... plain & simple.

Many high-end audiophile power cord manufacturers use Litz construction in their design...

It is not a new technology... about as new as the Triode tube!
