RE: Trickle down

Given that I have no personal experience with Swiss Cables, I reached out to a few of my audiophile acquaintances. None of them said they've tried any, either.

Yeah, since the latter half of the 00s, I've let my audio circle be the guinea pig. So if there's something they move on from, but I might like, I check it out. Such was the case with the Simaudio 600i integrated amp. Its last owner moved up to higher-end Simaudio, so he was more than happy to sell the 600i to me. That all-silver unit was in great shape.

Also starting from the late-00s, my audio circle downsized. So while lots of excess turntables, phonostages, amps, speakers, and line-level interconnects were sold off, some choice powercords remained. That's how I obtained some of the massively expensive Pranawire powercords.
