Anyone have experience with "Signal Cable" Cables?

Frank's Analog1 and Analog2 interconnects compete with cables in the $100 to $250 price range.
His power cords: the Magic and HC Digital are superb! They compete with stuff that cost many hundreds of $$$.

I have owned the Analog1, Analog2, Magic Power HC, Digital PC, and his shotgun bi-wire speaker cables. Frank is a terrific guy, and his cables are a fine upgrade from stock quality. However, there are a number of IC's in the $100-250 range and power cords in the "hundreds of $$$ range" that will outperform them by a considerable margin. Verastarr, Z-Squared, Ridge Street, Aural Thrills, just to name a few.

Signal are the perfect cables for those who are convinced that expensive cables are a rip-off, or for those who are sold on the visual aesthetic (i.e., they LOOK like the more expensive cables, therefore...) without actually trying the gamut of offerings in the market. It all depends on what you want to spend, and perhaps what is appropriate for the quality of your system. If you are curious, buy various used cables and see what you think. You can always re-sell them for the same price. Otherwise, try http://www.usedcable.com and they can advise you in accordance with your system and listening preferences.
Best of luck,

Sorry if I offended, Tplavas. I won't again. I'm done. Thanks everyone, and goodbye.

Tplavas,
Your response was not too forceful. Nor did I take it personally. I should have been more clear in saying that the value I once saw in these forums has all but disappeared. Most of what I read here is either a sweeping statement about some XYZ 'giant killer', with no specifics or historical context in these threads that might help to explain such a claim: what system? which cords have you heard in comparison? for how long was the 'test' cord in your system? what exactly did you hear/not hear? It's usually this, or a host of condescending, personal insults slung by some members who cannot seem to communicate on a constructive or respectful plane. A year ago, I sensed that the conversations were different. Maybe it's just me, I don't know.

Again, your response was not too forceful. Nor was it inappropriate, considering what I had written about the aesthetic factor of the Signal Cable potentially making up for its shortcomings in performance. It is my opinion that on a resolving system, the Signal Cables are outperformed by many others out there. Sure, there is always an $800 power cord that won't sound as good as the Signal or the DIY homebrew variety. But if your system and your ears are discerning enough, and you are willing to shop by sonics and not price, you will find another step on the upgrade path that is beyond the capabilities of the Signal Cable. If this was not so, you would find them used in a significant percentage of recording studios. And you won't.

Once more, I apologize for making our exchange my 'last straw'. I agree with the others who suggest that a differing of opinions is valuable. The underlying consideration that I have here is my own problem, and it has more to do with the harshness that has permeated these threads. Few members express a genuine curiosity or interest in challenging the perspective upon which they are sold even before starting the game. So whether it's me or the forum itself, I don't really care. It's simply better for me that I'm not part of this. So again, take care everyone.
Howard
