The Cable Company advice?


Anyone have experience (good/bad/meh) with consultation advice from The Cable Company?

I asked for a recommendation for 8’ speaker cables from a $20k integrated to $35k speakers. Their reply was a long pitch about their lending library. When I asked for a specific recommendation they suggested a $750 pair of cables. When I replied that my budget was $2,500 to $5k with some specifics about air, soundstage, bass clarity, etc. they suggested one step up the line to a $1,500 pair.

Considering all the high priced cables they offer I was surprised and a little skeptical. 
 

Does anyone have experience with them to share?

In general I have had very good interactions with TCC.  I have used the library, mixing their thoughts with my own on choices.

The only negative occurred recently, asking about my 11.5% frequent flyer discount, I got an N/A response (this was on a $2K+ Cardas purchase), so I emailed a prior contact and he sorted it out.

On some product lines (e.g. Cardas) the cables are drop shipped from the manufacturer so there can be a 2 week lead time.

In addition to interconnects I have also purchased (Kimber) wire for the internals of my home brew projects.
