If I can come to any conjectures based on upon your posted "system vitae" and that of kavakidd...always a questionable outcome...the choice of adjectives (stunning, surpassed, replaced) struck me as strong recommendations. It peaked my interest to look further into the products that you replaced.

I have not heard the Omega wires, but Loyld Walker's reputation precedes him. I tracked down a link to his Omega Mikro cables and they seem to be a informed effort at taking a unique approach coming out of working with those in the production chain.

Those using his efforts are definitely in the "deep end" that few seldom tread....myself included. I probably need to come up for some air and walk over to my local Home Depot to ask for more their plebian/pratical opinions of copper foil as a cable....or stutter out something like:

"By the way, Sir, can you tell me which aisle I might find extention cords ? I'm going to be needing about 25 feet of it...would it come in black and orange as well? I planning a... Hallow'een party in... 8 months...and...yah !???!!!

I'm not sure which query would get me the the larger of the raised eyebrows but I think that I may need to retract my comments about Paul (Seydor) and his role as an errant sacrifical lamb at TAS. As the Omega Mikro begain over a decade ago(and is still a listed product at MapleShde) that has made the review circles at major publications , it would be interesting if RH or HP care to chime in and comment on their personal opinions of the HD 14 gauge as a sleeper cable ?
