I remember that one as well....., I believe it was based upon the golden hues used by Conrad-Johnson | Marantz | Denon | Accuphase gear, which a few of these companies never offers their wares with black faceplates, so I can see said reviewers point.
On the German made cables on a whole, I do believe along with the upscaled Japanese cables and cords there's a lot to be said about them having a sort of perfectionist attitude, much like their automobiles when it comes to their workers taking pride in the quality of craftsmanship they put into each prior to pushing them onto the market, with lots of these items not allowed to leave their countries at all, so what we get here in the states is just a small sample of what the natives get to hear on a daily bases.
Much like the Brits tend to be conservative when it comes to spending money on cables, as I'd to assume they tend to go after cables offered produced for the pro audio market side of things where neutrality and value are sorted first and foremost, yet as you've stated......there a very very fine line between reality and subjective reality indeed.
It has been a pleasure bouncing them back and forth with you as well........, an open-minded sort who gets it, how rare it seems of late.
Follow Ups:
Have those of you with components centrally stacked between speakers ever heard your speakers perform with an unobstructed soundstage? Consider those components that rise two, three, or four feet feet up into the soundstage as barriers to the efficient flow of musical notes. If the latter don't crash with a muffled sound, they arrive with blurred image definition and leading edge attack degraded by mistiming.
Moving those components to an area outside one of the speakers (or on the other side of the wall centrally behind them) is an inconvenience and a cable expense but it liberates the air space for unobstructed musical flow/ optimum soundstage reproduction.
In my case, the damage was being done by components whose front was two feet behind the back of the speakers where I found the soundstage to be wide, deep, and unforgiving of any obstruction higher than 12" off the ground.
As I was fortunate earlier on ( circa 1990 - 2003 ) to be in a nice townhouse where placement of the gear placed onto a rack which stood 16" high, was located on the right wall about 6' in front of the speakers.
Since then I've always felt comfortable with custom made Sound Anchors Amp Stands ( Racks ) where each is 13" high, and centrally located between the speakers without any sort of mishap as far as sound staging goes, and feel that currently I'm getting the best sonics I've ever had, so much so I'm not inclined to change one component, and am now looking to add one of their Amp stands made which the top shelf is maxed at 7" from the floor in which my DAC shall reside.
It seems to me that during my time spent with either Linn or Roksan Turntables, which where to be perched atop stands between 8 - 14" from the floor on stands from the likes of Sound Organization or Mana Acouctics or Roksan nicely made tripod stands where amongst the first which could be safely placed between once speakers without any said ill effects......, I've come to believe it's the tower type designs in racks or wall units which have it worst in regards to limiting the flow of notes as their wavelength is diffused by said side panel interactions.
As noted during my stay in Japan, the natives always seem to use rather lower racks | platforms, where some even had these items located in cutout into their flooring placed atop dirt or slabs of granite......., and in each case they proved very effective.
Placement of all components is vital, as a means of canceling out sound waves patterns as well as resonance control as far as I'm concerned......., which lead to the original topic on these isolation footers, as being one of the only brands short of Shun Mook | Symposium Acoustics which I was able to hear their sonic impact within a few bars, and how have 3 different sets of them which shall be placed into the system accordingly.
Cheers, mate! (not British, but like the saying, just sayin'....)
