Truly amazed

hi all,
one thing i have to clear up, [having dis-assembled a few pairs] the silver series do not have silver conductors or even silver plated, their still copper, i think the "silver" element is just a marketing aspect to explain that these are the better versions than the standard!
i too still marvel at their performance for the price!

Have you dismantled one of the grey audio smaller wire diameter cables and if so, what was inside?

Yes Frank, you've amplified my concern about getting the wrong cable's model number in my reply to Alex. The other type that I got (described as 'for video') were the grey type & though they did sound good, they were not the same.

I wonder whether the white ones have been completely discontinued - hence the low price we all took advantage of.

Alex, if you find them & you have a choice - get the white ones. If you have a choice over length, get the shortest ones your system can accommodate.

There is a pair for sale on Audiogon: http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls....a-audio-cable-

They look like the grey ones to me Alex - the white ones have white grips on the plugs as well as the white braided sleeve.

Shit, don't tell me I've ordered the wrong ones!

They certainly aren't the video cable version though, the phono plugs are colour coded for left & right There is a serious possibility that they have the same internal construction as these white ones we have.

The fact is the description looks to be a match so i wouldn't get too upset yet Alex

Oh, good, I was getting all worked up for nothing... The only thing that gets me antsy right now is that this is the worst time of the year to be ordering stuff to be shipped. God knows when will I get them, and whether they'll be able to beat the Christmas rush.

I can't wait to report back on my listening experiences once I install them. Squeamish people be forewarned: a blowhard review is imminent!

Yeah, i know what it's like wondering if stuff will get delivered before the holidays I'm waiting on all sorts that should have been here by now

Unfortunately the only way you'll ever really be able to tell if they truly are the same as these white ones we have is to chop off a plug & take a look, not recommended

The description is the same though from what i read on AudioGon, i wouldn't get too hung up on a sleave colour as it's just a piece of plastic From what i have seen Belkin tend to make things a tad different for the American market & still give them the same model number etc as UK stuff so anything is possible.

Yeah, the "silver series" moniker probably hints at the white, or light greyish color on the outside (people claim that there are no silver wires inside).

Please don't shoot the messenger, but some reviewers claim that it takes 15 to 20 hours of burn in time before these cables are ready to be auditioned. Snake oil or honest-to-god truth?
