RE: CHINA ODIN POWER CABLES, SPEAKER CABLES & DIGITAL

The sound of the cables and ease (or difficulty) of returns cannot be painted with a broad brush.

There are differences in the Odin Gold IC (RCA for me) from different vendors.

The first set I bought sounded good to me and I was pleasantly surprised.

The 2nd set from another vendor was not as well constructed, far too tight on the RCA jacks, and not worth listening to (in both directions - actually they sounded better to me in the direction opposite of those on the wood blocks - though still not worth listening to).

Regarding the purchase of a set of Odin 2 XLRs, one of the locking balls on a connector was missing. They also were not worth listening to.

As far as returns, I read about some not so stellar communications and difficulty of returns. I have also read about the differences in sound/quality from different vendors.

For those that have had success in sound and returns, more power to you.

My experience and readings cause me to conclude that these purchases are a crap shoot.
