As audiophiles, we take what's obsolete, make it beautiful, and keep it forever.
Hey! I have a blog now: http://mancave-stereo.blogspot.com or "like" us at https://www.facebook.com/mancave.stereo
Creston was gracious enough to re-terminate some cables and jumpers for me over the weekend for minimal cost. I still love these cables and am happy to support a small company like Crimson and Austin hi-fi. I did mention that the jacketing "looked like cat-5" and he replied that the cables are made by a company that also produces cat-5 so there are similarities.If you ever stop by Austin hifi, be sure to listen to the Tocaro/Crimson combo. stunning!

Slowly, but surely, this company is getting exposure. They had a great year (2014) on the audio show circuit (no pun).
Certainly, information about Crimson Audio cables is available. It's just that audiophiles may be too lazy or afraid to contact Austin Hifi, and take a chance.
The other thing is, these cables ere designed to be neutral, that is, reflect what is fed to them. Most Stereotypical Audiophiles do not like this. SAs are after a certain sonic signature. They want ALL of their recordings to attain this sound. Thus, they turn to and use cables as a tone control. Really, they'd be better off just getting a graphic equalizer.
But for those who want a thin, lightweight speaker cable, the Crimson Audio Music Link is a good choice. Furthermore, once you stick it on a cable burn-in device, its lack of coloration becomes evident. You start to notice the true character of your system. You start to notice that each recording sounds different.
I use Crimson unbalanced interconnects and speaker wire exclusively in my home system. When I was auditioning different cable and wire I was pretty set on doing an all Kimber system but one of the dealers I go to here in LA suggested the Crimsons and loaned them to me to try out. For me it was a an easy decision and I prefer Crimson over more expensive Kimber and Nordost offerings. However, in my office system I stuck with anti-cables interconnects and speaker wire.
Crimson also made jumpers for me as well although it's not offered on their site.
Right On!
