It really is fantastic when you take a leap of faith/chance on something and you score big time. That was exactly how I felt about purchasing something from someone on the other side of the pond as I live in Canada. Well, my experience with Arachne Audio was nothing but just that, FANTASTIC. Albert was great providing me with a couple of mock ups to help me choose the colours and advising on some details on the XLR connectors. What I received was a thing of beauty. The craftsmanship is second to none. The cable has over 50 hours burn in and with the balanced connection, the sound is sublime. The heavy duty metal "Y" splitter demonstrates the excellent build quality. I can't say how much I love this cable and it's my own custom creation. They have about 24 colours and patterns to choose from. Clearly, the team at Arachne Audio knows what their doing, they care and produce a first rate product. I had to choose between two sets of colours. But now, in the very near future I plan to purchase a second spare cable with my other colour choices. Friends who have seen my cable, ask first, where did I get it. I tell them you can't go wrong with Arachne Audio.
Albert, thx for everything and please share my compliments to your team !!!
