Thanks @jerrybj , I think I will try them if they respond to my messages/emails
@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). Jerry |
@tony1954 , their old pricing was less than $189 for shorter lengths, now they averaged it out. |
Here’s an old review of one of their earlier USB cables.
And, another. http://www.audiocadabra.com/blog/optimus-solid-copper-superquiet-usb-cables/ All the best, Nonoise |
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 |
@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. Jerry |
