More seriously they have no shielding, so if you have a potentially noisy EMI/RFI environment they will introduce noise into your system. E.g. wireless, plasma tvs, dimmers etc will potentially cause hissing from your speakers. I replaced my AV interconnects from SSP to these low capacitance ones from [URL="http://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/audio/index.htm"
Blue Jean Cable[/URL] and in terms of sound quality I couldn't tell the difference. However, they are very well shielded and so the hissing vanished, so win-win. And from a mechanical perspective they also have one of the best plugs I've come across.
