Onda Cables? Yes

Over ten years in this hobby. I have tried many. I have read reviews. Forums and Threads. I wanted it all. Tell me it's great so I can try or buy it.

Well, I can list the the cable company's that I have tried and owned but somehow I feel the thread will be attacked by " fan boys" and or disguised owners / dealers pushing their own.

6moons does not need to review this product. 6moons needs to implement it in their systems to evaluate all other components as a standard.

My reason to put forward my effort to post this is obvious. Just in case it's not obvious>>> Cables are costly, frustrating. Break in times while this is true, I for one think they should still sound great from the get go!!!

I own the Onda Air speaker cables and interconnect. Yes!

Saw these at TAVES and remembered what an interesting cable this was. Are any stores carrying these in Ontario now? I wonder if anyone has had a chance to compare these with the similarly priced Nordost cables?

Had the Nordost Frey 2 while they were/are excellent the Onda Airs interconnects and speaker cables surpassed them. Every gener of music is magic. My front end has been the same for years and when inserting a cable change the differences are obvious. The Ondas are highly recommended.

Canada's distributer is Image Audio, out of Guelph. I would say start by giving Greg a call to further answer your questions you may have.

My system consists of:

Ayon CD5
Ayon Triton
Synergistic Powercell mk ii
Chario Sovran Speakers
Onda Air Cables

I have (4) power cables in my system from Onda. Two are their flagship "Riptide" on my amp and Audio Aero LaFontaine music center and two "Rush" cables powering my Vandersteen 5A Carbon speakers' subwoofers. Also,I have a Rush RCA connecting my M800A Luxman amp and my Audio Aero. I run Mexcel Esoteric/Acrolink speaker cables-biwired. These cables are spendy and I don't want to like them!!! But, they blow away the Synergistic Research and Cardas cables I was using prior. So before you scoff anymore at Kosta123, give these Onda's a listen and see if they don't permanently part your hair down the middle. IMHO, they are mind-blowing!

There are so many used great cables out there and can be had at a cheaper rate than new cables. Buying new is crazy. That's why we have the 'Gon. I bought a silver 7' ACapella SC for $1250.00 shipped that went for 6.8K new. Try buying a Onda 7' silver speaker cable for 1.2K and see what you get.

I have been a fool in the past with my over the top thoughts on the new cable on the block. Have the Teo Spdif and STD IC. Do I write how they part myhair LOL? Have John Tucker's Portal AC/Speaker cables and they are ......

Get the power right. Get the source right. Get the amp right. Get the room right. Then any really good thought out cable will sound great. Most cable swapping will just give you a different flavor.
