Has anyone heard of Audiocadabra cables?


I saw a silver USB cable on that this company claims takes 3 hours to make by hand for around $130. Has anyone tried this vendors cables that would care to comment? Thanks

Bought an Akiko Audio product from them in 2016 with a hassle free transaction.

I just saw this post from another member warning of high return shipping rates:

 

 

@tony1954   I think you can now see how little the cost of the components matters to the price.  Like a fountain coke.  Cost of materials is the same for small, med, and large (about 2c).

@tony1954 , their old pricing was less than $189 for shorter lengths, now they averaged it out. 

Call me suspicious, but Audiocadabra is selling all lengths of their power cable for the same price of $189.00. 2.5M or 4M, same price.

Why would any company do that?

@carlsbad, that is an interesting factoid, thanks for posting because I had no idea what 106% meant.

Common nomenclature is to set copper conductivity at 1.0 and compare others on this scale. Silver is the only metal more conductive than copper at 1.07. However, I do stand corrected. Looking this up I see silver listed as 1.05 to 1.07 so 1.06 is quite reasonalbe. I’ve always remembered 7%.

Other metals:

gold .70

aluminum .61

brass .28

steel .10

They are in India and offer free shipping, thanks for the replies. I'm going to try the USB as other vendors charge $$ more for silver.

@carlsbad - Ironically, their power cord looks like an Anticables design, except that Anticables doesn't use that design for their power cables.

 

They claim to have solid silver which they call 106%.  Silver is 107% of copper. They make no claim about the purity of their silver.  It looks to me like they are a high end Chinese maker wth a very good US based website.  The website is definitely done by someone with English as a first language.  Shipping is $29 anywhere in the world and they don't mention any company that gets local shipping rates....

All that being said they look relatively well made and probably a good deal for the price.  I wouldn't hesitate to give the silver digital cables a try since I like silver in a digital cable.  Power cables do NOT look good to me.  I like their woven interconnects but not their twisted speaker cables.

Sorry, I can't answer your original question. Is the cable all silver or copper clad with silver? That would make a big difference in sound.
