Cable Asylum

Nice cable surprise

68.229.81.92

I was using a friends schiit bifrost dac while he was away (which is very nice btw). I am using cables from audioquest chord belden 8402 and some other odds and ends cables. When he gave me the dac he also gave me a 1 meter schiit pyst snake oil cable. I said I don't need it. He said just try it for giggles. So after about 3 days with the dac I said hell with it I put in the snake oil cables. They are actually pretty damn nice very similar to my mogami 2534 in sound but a tad smoother. They use a cable from sommer cable from Germany and rean connectors. He said when you get them they are smidgen lean and light on the bass but after 100hrs they smooth out a the bass fills in. Nice surprise for someone who doesn't want to spend a lot on cables and definitely better than alot of cables on the market now. I was pleasantly surprised

we are trusting of course that you have an acute ear, but cables have many of us wondering why the PYST sounds good and there seems to be no justification for spending over a thousand for something that might, and I say might be better or just as good in our particular home system.

I went to the sight and 1 foot is 20 bucks/pair

  I am not calling them snake oil. The name of the company is snake oil sound. They are a start up company and where just a nice sounding cable and are nicely built. They cables are super flexible also.

    Yes, I realized that. I just post that when people start talking snake oil anything. And the funny thing is I took that photo at an audio show! Someone else had the same sense of humor to have that there in the first place, as does the company naming their product snake oil.
