Yeah, the prices are ridiculously low. Hard to believe.I had used DIY power cables I made with DH Labs Power Plus and Marinco connectors for years before experimenting about 4-5 years ago with (initially) Viborg top of the line connectors (unplated copper) on the DH Labs and, following that, Viborg 1606 raw cable mated with the Viborg connectors.
After having very good results with that I moved onto the pre-built 1501's with the top of the line unplated Viborg connectors and used them for a few years.
I think the 1501 is a very good cable but do prefer the Accuphase. The one area in which I think the 1501 might be/is probably better is the bass/lower frequencies. Probably a bit tighter and better defined than the Accuphase.
But pretty much everywhere else I prefer the Accuphase. In my system it has a blacker background (and the 1501 is no slouch in that area), better dynamics and a more refined midrange and highs. It just seems to sound more natural and musical than the 1501's I have which, comparatively sound a bit hi-fi.
There are some who find the Accuphase to sound a bit rolled off and have opted to install rhodium or silver plated connectors on it, but I certainly don't and am quite happy with the stock connectors that come with the cable. Same with the IC's.
