Anyone know/use River Cable or Lat International?

I used LAT in the past, Lou (of LAT) is a great guy to deal with. After some comparisons I do not feel it is a giant killer, it is decent cable for the price. Maybe some giants just are only giants in their price.

A friend of mine compared the top LAT IC to Nordost Blue Heaven and the differences were very subtle at most; both are priced near each other.

I also use LAT Intrnational with great results. Speaker, interconnects and digital.

I have all LAT wire in my "yoga room" system. A very balanced sound for the price. Use balanced between Psss X-1 preamp and X-350 amp, RCA for CD/DVD and tuner and single wires to Dunlavy V speakers. Very smooth for my wife's practice and doubles as a great party/dance system.

In general, these are a mellow cable. Have a full range with some emphasis on the bass and mid range. I have tried other wires and of course the sound is different, but for my room/use these are a real bargin. Great guys to do business with as well.

I used Lat International for years. Loved 'em. Cannot beat the price and quality. The sound is very tough to beat at twice the price. peace, warren
