In Reply to: RE: Weird... Duster, confirmation on cables? posted by TopPop on July 15, 2008 at 11:12:27
Well regardless... these cables are pretty darn good!
They seem to have a very close signature to what you said and what I've read elsewhere, but just a bit closed in. Almost quiet-like. They probably just need to burn-in for awhile, but tonally, they're already what I was looking for, so I'll probably just keep these (whatever they are)!
Thanks again for your help!
Cheers,
Chris

Less than a day later, I realize now that I would constantly be wondering, "What if the PCOCC is better?"
So I called Belkin, and they're going to swap out for the right ones, no charge! :o)
Very bizarre that the same model would have two different packages, with very different descriptions. Also, upon closer inspection, the barrel plugs are, indeed, different. No doubt: these are different cables... and my mind would not be able to relax without the assurance that I have the right ones!
I'm weird like that.
Cheers,
Chris

Belkin PureAV seems to indeed no longer feature PCOCC for the particular product. Belkin's web sites information has changed in recent weeks (see link below).
My guess is the cost of PCOCC single crystal copper has simply jumped too high for Belkin to continue using the material for the product to sell at a desired price point. You did a good thing to contact them in order to get the product you wanted, TopPop ;-)
About your previous comment about burn-in, the cable took at least the (somewhat usual) 400 hour mark before a more open sounding soundstage fully developed and for the previously mentioned treble smear to subside.
