JW Audio Signature Interconnect - I can't get anyone even to try them


I recetntly posted an ad for them on Agon, and it has generated very little interest. I'm offering a 30 day trial with refund if not happy. These cables have been my reference for many years and sounded better than anything I've owned including a pair of $1200 Audioquest silver. I recently found Iconoclast to be incrementally better, but it retails for $1740. 

Does anyone have any suggestions?

If a long-time member here with a trusted sales history is interested in just trying them, I will send you a pair if you are willing to pay for shipping both ways. Let me know what you think of them. I think you will be surprised at how good they are.

If you live anywhere near me at 53005, bring your cables over for a comparison. My system consists of a Luxman L590AXII, dCS Debussy Dac with a dCS Network Bridge connected to Canton Reference 8C floorstanders or  ProAc Response 1SC monitors.

Hmmm ….

- No ads on HIFISHARK, and Nil / Nada / zip in their sales history too.

- No response and no interest yet expressed to your ad here…

= a harbinger that appears to be negligible interest in them at best .

My take: Last resort

(1) suffer the likely and entirely predictable big haircut on a potential ( if any) dealer trade-in quote

(2) try a similar big revised haircut on your current asking price as a last resort (Hint: think, say a similar healthy BIG slash off your current asking price …) …if you are serious in trying to ever sell them. The next guy is a hard lock to minimize his investment losses when  unable to offload them easily too. 

IMO , your Pleadings for personal auditions on this forum is logistically a predictable no-go, without prejudice to the prevailing general user indifference expressed above.

Choose wisely.

@audiojerry …. 

(1) @stereo5 +1. Kinda nailed it, sir. They are not a popular cable brand and absent a meaningful published sales history . The lion’s share of buyers choose mainstream brands that they can easily pass on by trade or sale. The competition of performance among cables is huge with a large cohort of members steering towards mainstream brand that are performance peers and better .


(2) personal cable Auditions on YOUR system don’t provide any meaningful basis for a synergy assessment to buyer in HIS bespoke system in his bespoke listening arena. Hence It won’t provide more hyperbole than a mag review or a YouTube video .The fact that you have no personal audition acceptance yet regrettably speaks volumes .

(3) Offering a take-it-home audition wild card option to prospective buyers is limited to a trusted local resident paltry few; it’s unacceptable high risk and not a doable option for 99+% of prospective buyers.

Carry on but Choose wisely
