For many years I bought thousands and thousands of dollars worth of gear from Steven and then he suddenly stopped responding when I had an order pending. I complained and was told John would be my salesman from now on. I figured maybe John was replacing Steven but now that I read this thread I see that maybe something else was going on. My three Symposium racks alone cost me more than 10K.
Caveat about the Cable Company return policy
I naively thought they had a liberal return policy and bought a few ethernet cables thinking I could return them if they didn't work out for me. Turns out in the fine print of the return policy you can only return interconnect and digital cables that are 1 meter and speaker cables that are 8 feet. Anything else is by their definition "non-standard" and therefore non returnable. That is despite the fact they have numerous lengths you can choose from their drop down menus and the company I bought from (Chord) lists the 5 meter cable I bought as a standard length,
here's the kicker.. you can only return speaker cables that are 8 feet but they sell them by the meter, so it is impossible to return an 8 foot speaker cable because they don't sell any. Lesson learned, read the fine print
