@charliee I emailed Pine Tree about the HexaBraid series at some point. They answered quickly and were very helpful, just like Veritas has been. If only everyone else in the audio space acted like those two, we'd be way better off.
I ended up going with the Veritas Argentum as I wanted a pure silver design rather than silver plated or pure copper. I may still try out a HexaBraid interconnect at some point anyway though. I always like supporting these smaller brands and the HexaBraid series seems like a great value.
