Coming soon. Eight pairs of 1 meter interconnects fresh off the assembly line from CARVERaudio. These cables are a must try. ;) Yes,Toy Maker got off his ass. ::) The production line is in operation.

Great news Tom. To bad they'll be too short for me with all of those Amps that I have to hook up. :'(

I am sure custom lenghts will be available.

Yes, custom sets will not be problem. I got you covered Bill. He made Bob a custom set down at the fest last year.
They are also directional.

You're The Best Tom. Thanks.-------BILL

Sent that slacker a pm 2 months ago about a price on 12 pair.. never answered? >:( That sure is a way to sell stuff!!! Good luck getting them Tom...I would be interested in hearing a pair if you have any luck. ;)
-
They are already made. ;D I have Lightstar power cords he wants 8)

Do you know what the price per meter will be?

Yup, I finally got a bunch of them done. Took a few days off last week and got them all finished.
Kingman... I have you down for the (1) set you said you want to "try"...
I was going to wait to see what you thought before throwing any real numbers around. :P

THX!, I will have to think about it. Have you compared them to MIT Terminators? This is the most expensive interconnects I have ever purchased.
-
They are listed in the Vintage HiFi store if you want to order online. :o

I will be comparing them to MIT, Purist Audio Design, Tara Labs, and Canary today.

Found them. They look like high quality stuff! But, I have always wondered why or how electrons know or care about direction thru a wire. Any explanations out there?
With MIT, I could sort of see, that depending on what's in the box, direction could matter.
-
Thanks Tom, I'm glad you like them so far.
Just to help everyone understand the "directional" design of the wires...
Directional wires have an additional shield inside of them...
that is grounded at one end only, to help reduce any outside interference.
Directional wires are supposed to be connected with the "grounded" end being connected to the "source"
So you would connect the grounded end to your CD player output.. the next set, you'd connect the grounded end to the amp output, and so on.
Here are a couple close up photos of them as well.

Damn !!! Tom those look really nice. I'm curious to hear about your findings after you do your comparison.
What's the material composition ?----BILL
-
The verdict is in. They are great cables. I compared them with everything good+ I have stashed away. Kimber,MIT,Tara Labs, and Purist Audio Design. They passed with flying colors. ;D
-
I took a look at these over at Tom's shop today. These things are solid. The construction of them is VERY good. Especially the connectors. :o They are very high build quality.
-
^^^^^
I'm with you Matt. Very-very good build quality and they look fantastic.
