Hello ejk,

I found it to be, in fact it laid on the floor in a prefect semi figure 8, and was much easier to manage. The overall fit and finish is what I'd have expected on a $600 cord easily.

And while I like Walter, having purchased items from him in the past..., and have had a fellow member here ( whom shall remain nameless) respond to me in an email " it's people like me, that buy items on eBay directly from Japan or China, that's causing some American audio retailers to close their doors ", logically I'm inclined to think anyone with excess to a computer | understands Google is their friend | can in fact find bargains from just about anything around the globe, a little time researching goes a very very long ways.

Why in the hell would anyone in their right mind buy an items for $250, ( or at $500, if purchased as an octet ) when said same items can be obtained from Japan for say $67-$125?, call me illogical for not wishing to spend locally, but in truth..., give me a break, as I believe I'm able to shop ( spent ) anywhere I wish.

When I began looking for certain tubes back in 2004, more often than not it paid to go directly to said tubes factory place of origin | for German or French tubes, I'd go to these respective countries eBay sites and translate..., as they're after all much cheaper as opposed to buying domestically | where many sellers here simply are looking to add a few dollars to their actual cost based upon supply and demand they claim, I on the other hand see it as greed | being dishonest.

Keep me ( us ) in the loop if you decide to purchase one?, as well as sharing your experience with it. I can't see going wrong with this one..., as a matter of fact, I honestly believe many would be foolish to write it off simply due to its Chi-Fi origins.
