I haven't heard any of their finished cables, but I did use the 33g copper 1877 Phono wiring for a few months in my Siggwan tonearm. The 1877 Phono wiring was very flexible and easy to install. It also sounded better than the Cardas wiring that came with the Siggwan. This was a true apples to apples comparison since both wires were continuous conductors from cartridge clips to RCA plugs and I used the same KLE Absolute RCA plugs for each wire. Only the wiring changed. The new wire basically highlighted the colorations of the Cardas in that the latter was too warm, too soft on leading edges and not as detailed.
After several months with the 1877 Phono, I ended up replacing it with a Discovery harness consisting of Discovery 33g joined outside the arm to Discovery Plus 4 cable and terminated with Discovery Essence RCA plugs. The differences between the 1877 Phono and Discovery were not as great as with the Cardas, but overall the Discovery is a bit faster and a bit more detailed and dynamic. I am very pleased with it and have no plans to change anything in the wiring or plugs.
Of course, I don't know how much of the difference with the Discovery harness was due to the RCA plugs and how much to the wire.
By the way, I also tried 1877 Phono RCA plugs on some homemade interconnects. They have surprisingly good sound, not the best but very good and a great value for the money.
