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?

Great experiences with the CC. Bought all my cables there after extensive in home evaluation. Compared the Shunyata Denali and Gemini 8 Power conditioners along with Gamma and Theta power cables. Preferred the Gemini with the Gamma. Compared the Alpha, Sigma and Omega Clock cables. CC is a great asset allowing you the ability to try everything and all combinations in your system. If you’re going to upgrade or buy new cables or a PC and you’ve identified the brands under consideration in their extensive library the CC is a great resource. As you buy you get increased discounts. I get 11.5% now. Ask for Ethan Wood. Very knowledgeable and responsive. I believe he’s been there a while. They also make returns easy by supplying a UPS shipping label. 

I have used TCC on and off over a 20 year period. I have had only positive experiences. I hadn't borrowed from the lending library and returned. Used the credits on products that I did want. There's always something. Their model of assigned salespersons can be hit or miss, like any relationship. I've had hits only. 

I had a very positive experience with them.

I use Inakustik interconnects and after explaining the rest of my stereo they suggested Inakustik speaker cables based on compatibility and synergy. They do not carry the brand and therefore provided a free consultation and no cable fees.

Seemed quite honest.

I've worked with Steven Aug for close to 20-years and he has always been prompt, informative, patient and professional.

Tried once

Very pushy service

Ignored my reasons for contacting them. Tried to sell me a bunch of other stuff.

Thought they were more $$$ than other places 

So no go for me
