Has anyone heard of Audiocadabra cables?


I saw a silver USB cable on that this company claims takes 3 hours to make by hand for around $130. Has anyone tried this vendors cables that would care to comment? Thanks

Sorry, I can't answer your original question. Is the cable all silver or copper clad with silver? That would make a big difference in sound.

 

They claim to have solid silver which they call 106%.  Silver is 107% of copper. They make no claim about the purity of their silver.  It looks to me like they are a high end Chinese maker wth a very good US based website.  The website is definitely done by someone with English as a first language.  Shipping is $29 anywhere in the world and they don't mention any company that gets local shipping rates....

All that being said they look relatively well made and probably a good deal for the price.  I wouldn't hesitate to give the silver digital cables a try since I like silver in a digital cable.  Power cables do NOT look good to me.  I like their woven interconnects but not their twisted speaker cables.

@carlsbad - Ironically, their power cord looks like an Anticables design, except that Anticables doesn't use that design for their power cables.

 

They are in India and offer free shipping, thanks for the replies. I'm going to try the USB as other vendors charge $$ more for silver.

Common nomenclature is to set copper conductivity at 1.0 and compare others on this scale. Silver is the only metal more conductive than copper at 1.07. However, I do stand corrected. Looking this up I see silver listed as 1.05 to 1.07 so 1.06 is quite reasonalbe. I’ve always remembered 7%.

Other metals:

gold .70

aluminum .61

brass .28

steel .10

@carlsbad, that is an interesting factoid, thanks for posting because I had no idea what 106% meant.

Call me suspicious, but Audiocadabra is selling all lengths of their power cable for the same price of $189.00. 2.5M or 4M, same price.

Why would any company do that?

@tony1954 , their old pricing was less than $189 for shorter lengths, now they averaged it out. 

@tony1954   I think you can now see how little the cost of the components matters to the price.  Like a fountain coke.  Cost of materials is the same for small, med, and large (about 2c).

I just saw this post from another member warning of high return shipping rates:

 

 

Bought an Akiko Audio product from them in 2016 with a hassle free transaction.
