I appreciate the comments but am still waiting :-)I do like their power cords. Was routinely reterminating the AC-14s with Furutech ends but the latest version doesn't need them IMHO.
EDIT: I know i'm stacking the deck here, a little, but I'd REALLY like to hear from someone with a cable cooker, It does make a difference. Or someone who has burned them in his/her system for more than a couple days. Sorry to be a nut about this. And my application does require a shielded cable.

Yes lots of speculation in recent threads here vs actual testing/proof. Very common on these boards as I'm sure you know. Merry Christmas and enjoy your much lower than normal December utility bills. But shields do mostly suck too. My unshielded RCA cables were noise free even between my Rabco tonearm and 54db gain phono stage with a high output Grado. The real benefit is in the soundstage IMO.

Earl, this is for the link from Otari tape heads (VERY low output) to a deHavilland tape head preamp. Trust me, unshielded cables do NOT work there.
Merry Christmas to you and Monica. Hope you're up and at 'em sometime soon.
Yep....have never been able to use an unshielded IC in the phono app myself.
My guess is it is due to having no safety grounds in my system. I can't think of how my system differs from anyone else's other than that.

Gotcha. I did see the deHavalind has 55db gain and puts out about a volt with a 1.4mV tape head so it isn't that different measurement-wise than my phono rig. I had also used my phono rig with a 2.0 mV out cart w/o noise but the overall level was too low with a passive linestage.
