tweak1 I'm surprised you haven't been pilloried for positive comments re Chinese clone cables on this site. I too tried Odin 2 and Cardas Clear Light cables and had the same reaction as you, great value cables beating anything I had heard costing. 20 x the price. I even took the Cardas cables to a dealer friend and we tested them against the real thing, neither of us could tell the difference and neither could any of his sales staff. I would have liked to do the same with the Odin 2s but don't know anyone who can afford the real thing.
