REALITY CABLES ?

Currently, I am up to my latest generation of pairs of interconnects, and speaker cables. The latest design is very sophisticated sounding. There is all the micro-detail needed to yield the "you are there" (or more properly, the performers are here) experience, along with tremendous transient speed, and bass extension. That often noted "jump factor" is present in two different systems, even the one with older tube amplification.
The best feature is portrayal of harmonic richness when the recording is of high quality. All the complexity of the human voice, and instruments is very much like what I am hearing at the many live concerts I attend. And, as the old joke goes, better, because there is nobody coughing in the auditorium.
If anyone needs to know the well regarded, more expensive products displaced by the Reality cables, they can email privately, since subtle matters of personal taste dictate what each of us likes best. Suffice it to say that these are able to transmit the effect of any change in a system, which is a feature for a person like me who enjoys trying all manner of tweaks.
No one can claim the whole world must be wired from just one company, but these are extremely fine, and moderately priced.

The official website is realitycables.com
So far, only mentioned in passing in some of the Reimer loudspeaker advertisements, because Reality Cables won a cable shootout to be selected for use by Reimer to connect components and speakers in their room at the recent Rocky Mountain Audio Fest.

Dbld, My earliest post at the very top of this thread is still operative. Even the slightest change while tweaking in one of my Reality outfitted systems is easily heard, so it's ideal when a system is basically voiced the way you like it, and you're checking out any system alterations. These wires "speak the truth" ,as the old cliche goes.
Judging by how exciting my Reality wired systems sound, I imagine you could really have a ball with Reality in your current super system.
I find that consistently using a single manufacturer's wiring throughout one system usually allows the full benefit of a particular design and material approach.
Any component fine tuning is accomplished separately with tweaking, and need the wiring to be the ultimate conduit of what the system becomes capable of delivering.
The final step is room tuning, once the wiring gets the best through to your speakers.

Stereo_phile, Would you include the price of each contestant in your ongoing shootout when you post any update?
Your system, and the wiring that has worked for you until now, already reads like an audiophile's dream list.

Stereo_phile, It is interesting that your shootout confirmed the traditional concept that you get what you pay for.
When I checked on the prices of the speaker cables, they ranked in descending order:
$4500
$2106
$950
$870
$225
As I had posted admiringly, above, "Your system and the wiring that has already worked for you reads like an audiophile's dream list."
The prices of the IC's in your shootout can be tabulated by someone else, but I suspect they don't come cheap, either.
Down here where the Shakespearean groundlings dwell, I still recommend wiring a system with Reality for its performance, its moderate price, and its home trial policy which lets each listener check for synergy with his/her particular system. (I have never tried the power cords.)

Over the years, there have been postings in the various audio forums about the over-cooking of certain items of wiring.
Although I never kept close watch on this topic since I never owned my own burn-in gadget, it is not merely a convenient excuse for a manufacturer to question the effect of a particular gadget on a particular wire.
It is appropriate for each manufacturer to specify ahead of time any home trial ground rules. In this case, the manufacturer did not anticipate every possible contingency, nor were any formal constraints placed on the new user.
Sadly, it is possible audiophiles can still inadvertently alter the meticulously tuned work of a manufacturer. (Each reviewer may have to consider this possibility.)
For example, if during a home trial I were to coat a termination with Walker's Extreme SST, or re-terminate with an RCA connector, or speaker spade lug, of my own preference, then I clearly think of the wire as being altered. And, whether for better, or worse, I am the responsible party.
When the sound heard through a wire is changed by signal processing, this is more of a mystery. Is this additional alteration "better" or "worse," and does it constitute an irreversible alteration for which a manufacturer is justified in rejecting a product return?
In this case, I agree with the manufacturer that his product has been altered, but I understand that there were no specific limitation placed on the home trial.
Just because the manufacturer carries out his own burn-in, and material alteration (such as with cryogenic immersion), does not make it invulnerable to further alteration, either for the better, or for the worse.
This may be the first time this specific question about whether a user's choice to try his own preference in further cable conditioning constitutes damaging behavior during home trial. This situation really pushes at the boundaries of what constitutes correct customer service.
My bias is to side with the manufacturer's reluctance to take back altered products no longer able to serve in the future as typical wire samples of his handiwork for another audio system. Yet, there is no joy having to take sides when both parties are good people.
I have no connection with the manufacturer except as a long ago purchaser, and still satisfied user, advocating for affordable, high quality items on Audiogon.

Congratulations to Stereo_phile for stating publicly how this all ended as a classic "Win-Win" situation.
As Jim at Hagerman Technology suggested, honoring the spirit of the home trial concept truly benefits both parties.
Gregg at Reality Cables provided the highest level of customer service, which is how he treated me, and his other loyal fans.
Stereo_phile exemplifies his own high ethical standard by explaining his initial review had consciously avoided giving any credit to Reality as a cost effective product line.
I have consistently posted over the years that Gregg at Reality lets you judge the quality for yourself, in your own system. That's a consumer oriented tradition which is alive and well.

Springbok10,
Right you are: listen for yourself.
You should always check out previous posts on a variety of topics made by anyone you are thinking of accepting as your guru.
Usually the majority view on a topic is worth looking into, and the existence of a home trial policy lets you avoid buyer's remorse with new items.
To arbitrarily ignore reviews and the threads that follow would be depriving yourself of one of Audiogon's strengths.
Also, it is still a sign of good character for Stereo_phile to admit what caused a biased or inaccurate comment.
It is going on five years that Reality IC's (the OFC RCA jack option is worth the extra cost) and speaker cable reside in two of my systems, never displaced after years of listening for myself. As far as Gregg's website appears to me, his wonderful wiring is still basically made as it always has been, a tribute to getting it right (I have said this in posts elsewhere, but it is what I believe).
