The cable itself looks like perfectly decent stuff.

This plug and the two phono's are beautifully machined out of brass/beryllium alloy, important if the turntable is "open" with cables/plugs visible. This makes it especially useful because for many decks a right angle connector is essential to give clearance under the arm (as with my Opera LP 5.0), it also gives a much better cable run on some turntable/arm combinations. More important is that the DIN plug is of the right-angle variety. The plugs look very high quality don't they? - well they feel it too. What you have here is a standard DIN arm-cable plug to two RCA's. The second rule is that I always find something to moan about no matter how minor.

First it's of a cable, and in the past few years I've avoided cable reviews simply because the effect is generally system dependent and I find it extremely difficult to make value judgements on something that costs $500 that I could make in an hour for $50. This short review breaks two of my usual "rules".
