Top Ten Interconnects of all time...

I kind of laugh. Has anyone tried Oritek X-2 interconnects?

There is no room for enthusiasm here? I have to admit that Ori(I think) probably does some sort of hypnosis on people. I was really thinking that it had something to do with Coors, though(combined with a vacation). Same price, guy. With any purchase of the X-1's(and he lets you keep the X-1's) it is $390 for .6 meters(about 25 inches from tip to tip). The thing is that you get the effect of these interconnects with even this smaller length(I wouldn't have sprung for the more expensive versions.). And guess what? I'm sticking my neck out on saying that these are in the top ten. How's that?

The thing is, Wc65mustang, is that there have been so many advances in cable-just in the last 4-5 years, that I can assure you that the Oritek X-2 will outperform almost all of the top-ten interconnects of all time. So will many others made in the last few years. I think that this gives a more balanced view to people who are looking to buy interconnects, and that is one reason why I mentioned the Oritek X-2. The other reason is the sound(or lack of-for those reading into the hidden meaning of words) of the X-2's.

The posting may have stopped. Maybe this will get a discussion going. I think my mention of the Oritek X-2's was actually on point, maybe not historically, though. Anyone have any impressions of the X-2's? The discussions of older interconnects are important also.

Maybe a little controversy will help. I propose the Oritek X-2's as number one, based on price/performance ratio. As a X-1 owner, I paid $390 for .6 meters(about 25 inches, tip to tip). You get to keep the X-1's. Ori has since informed me that .4 meters or less cost $329. He told me that the .6 meters would dominate my system(in a good way). He was right. He is supposed to tell me soon if .4 meters does the same. Now, if you have a specialized application, this may not apply to you.

I'de call the Oritek X-2's as the Koetsu(yes, I own the original Rosewood) of interconnects, in that they convey something about music that escapes most audio components. Yes, I pay what anyone else pays for these.

I own both the Fulton Brown's and Fulton Gold speaker cable. I mention this next part for perspective to possible cable purchasers. The Signal Cable Silver Resolutions beat the Fulton's. I'm not necessarily advocating the Silver Resolutions(although, I am with Nuforce amps), it just gives a realistic bent to this discussion. We can talk about the past(for instance, I have the original MIT interconnects), and that is good, but if someone is currently in the market for cables, the cables mentioned here would be incorrect for you.

I just want to say that Oritek X-2's were mostly designed with cd. So, if you don't need silver, I would suggest you investigate these for your cd player. Ori says that just having them in your system provides many of the benefits of these interconnects. I can guarantee that Ori has auditioned his interconnects in many systems. Can you say that about all the interconnects that were formula based? I bought about 2 feet of them, which are very cost effective.

LOd015, I looked at the site of Virtual Dynamics. Just looking at the technology, it sounds expensive. Although I don't have the luxury of having both interconnects, Ori assures me that he has thought of at least 10 things that most cable companies haven't. He also doesn't believe in expensive products(which, given my finances, I also believe). What price are we talking here? Ori says that, and I believe-based on my own observations, that just a little of his interconnects are enough to have its effect on a system. So, therefore(it had nothing to do with price-yeah right!) I paid around $329 for 2 feet. I would suggest(and this doesn't come from Ori) that you try the X-2 from the digital player to whatever.
