I used their lending library for years when trying to determine contribution of cables to systems in general, all sorts of cables at many price points. You can let them choose the cables for demo's or you choose amongst their offerings. I considered the price for this wide range of demos to be worth it. Where else can you go for such a wide range of demos? And you can also purchase from their used inventory. Now, they do expect eventual purchases and you will likely feel the pressure from salesmen to purchase.
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?
