Don't read you'll be sorry

well, thats my point. If it is silver coated, it isnt regular Rockefeller cable. PBN says the cable sheath says Rockefeller 3. I cant find any info on the "3" version to know if it is different that regular Rockefeller. but even if it isnt, it is being sold at 1/3 the price of regular Rockefeller, with different connectors, sheathing, and interior packaging. Seems like a lot of work for little gain. why not just call it rockefeller and sell it for 1/3 retail price without the additional work? Very odd business model.

Yes strange indeed - I've posted another picture with a lot more detail as well as description

I hooked up the wire in my system last night and listened for a few hours, its OK but slightly "lighter" sounding than my Kimber 16TC which projects more "weight"

Anyway a fun little experiment with a expected outcome - you get what you pay for :-)

As always - Good listening

Thanks

I suspect that once some people see $8500 cable for $380 they cannot resist and the fact that it is made in China makes whole thing believable. Of course there is also placebo effect - if you believe that it is K2 it will sound like one.

Here is the description that was supposed to be at the picture posted on my system page the Audiogon website cuts at a quotation mark ?

Here are some more pictures of the wire - it's definitely silver plated copper and it appears to have the right geometry and size of conductors a pair of 17 Gauge and a pair of 20 gauge labeled Treble on one side of the wire and a pair of 16 gauge and a pair of 19 gauge conductors on the other side labeled Bass - the conductors measure right sized with a caliper. On each side there are a small gauge unused white wire as well as a naked ground wire that's connected to the black lead on each end. Each side have a foil shield and the 3 filler leads between the conductor leads appears to be cotton or similar thread.

If you read audio quests description, they don't clearly say the k2 wire is solid silver. They talk about a smooth surface when they discuss silver, so maybe it is only supposed to be silver coated.
