What's up with Ridge Street Cables

I think they are a fantastic cable
My only reason for selling is I've downgraded and gone off the grid

Have a listen to the cable and draw your own conclusions

Thanks for your opinion

Ridge Street Audio cables were a popular small boutique brand back a few years ago. I have owned many of Robert's cables and cords myself, and yes, they are very good. However, from my understanding, even if Robert is still in business, which I am not sure that he is, he has been laying low for the last few years.

When the proprietor of a small boutique company goes into retirement or hiding, the resale value of their products suffer. It's just the nature of the business. Not that RSAD ever had great re-sale value, but the pieces I have seen for sale lately have been way over-priced. Not for the quality of sound that they deliver, but for their place in the market. After all, the market determines what a product is worth, the market is fickle, and likes to be entertained. When the manufacturer stops entertaining the market, the market shrivels up and eventually dies.

You ad is a good example. Maybe you could have gotten $500 per cord several years ago when RSAD was still actively marketing themselves. Now that they have fallen off the face of the audiophile world, you may only get $600 for both cords. The market has dried up, sorry. I still have a Poiema!!! Signature cord from Robert, and it is a very good cord. I am not currently using it, but I would never consider selling it because I know that I would not get the amount of money in return that the cord's value has to me. I have a pair of interconnects from another small boutique manufacturer that I won't ever sell either, for the same reason.

Thanks for your honest and worthy comments
I may just keep them as they are very good

Cheers

You are welcome Pat. I would be interested in hearing them, since I have owned many of Robert's cables and cords, but I never heard any of his copper cables or cords. I even owned an Alethias! power cord once, but it was also the silver version. All I've ever owned from RSAD was silver. Robert didn't start using copper until the Alethias, which was near the end, when he seems to have disappeared.

I currently own way too many cords as it is now though, so though I am interested in how the copper would sound....I'm not that interested. LOL!! Good luck with your sale, or just enjoy them.

Cheers,
John

If they are silver, and are heavy, perhaps you could sell it as bulk silver instead of cables. To have unused equipment just hanging around doesn't make sense to ME.
