Anyone heard of Soundstring cable?

They were used in the Harbeth/Plinius room @ CES, among others.

A rather new player in the market, I think.

Unique wooden-body RCA plugs, from what I could see.

They have a very good review at positive feedback.
I am also interested to hear them.I think Tok
2000 is the one who mentioned them to me. They said
their power cord performance will equal the Kimber
palladian.

I have a balanced set of Soundstrings. I really like them. They sound similar to the several ICs that use very thin conductors, eg. Luminous Synchestra, Stealth PGS, but without the warm glow and softness that the likes of the PGS have. On some ss gear I have heard some complain that the sound can go a bit flat and harden, but I suspect it is just being truthful. The only reason I hesitate to be too definitive is that I have only tried it in one spot in one of my systems, and have not tried any other cables in that particular spot. But it has been ideal for me. My guess so far is that it is up there with the better USD300-500 ICs and is very neutral, dynamic, has a large soundstage and very good detail retrieval. But it might veer to the analytical in some solid state systems.

i heard the soundstring cables in 2 rooms at the ces show in 2 alon systems. alons are pretty revealing speakers and show all.

the sound was pretty incredible...worth investigating and auditioning.

I own one of their powercords. Since I feel that cables of all sorts are very system dependant, I would prefer not to comment here. If you want to email me with questions, I will do my best to answer.
