NBS Audio Cables


Can anyone give me info. regarding NBS Cables? I tried to reach them via there 800# and it was no longer in service. I called there regular no. and informed them about this and they acted as if they didn't no it. I have researched there cables and found some good info on it. My only concern is that, I think this is a one man operation or two (called the co. several times and the person who answer, is either the operator/secretary or Walter Fields who is the co. president. I wanted to talk to a sales or technical rep. and the answer is always, Mr. Fields is out of the office right now and will call you back. I would really like to try purchasing their cables/interconnects but because of these reasons I'm quite apprehensive and with the $$$ their charging for their products - I just want to make sure they're in the up and up. Also, could not find any dealer in the US except for one Mr. Pham who's in CA and his phone just keep on ringing.
I have also talked with Mr. Fields and had a pretty good impression of him.
Any info/explanation about this co.'s structure or whatever will be appreciated.
Thank you.

Mombo, I too have been concerned when purchasing pre-owned NBS. The only real way to tell if NBS is authentic is to buy from someone who can prove the cables origin. In my quest for NBS Statement ICs I came across people who had 4 runs of Statement ($6000 each) and claimed they bought it 3 years ago but never used it. To me, this is a RED FLAG! Who keeps 24,000 worth of cables sitting in their garage?

When you buy NBS, see if you can find out as much about the origin of the cable as possible. Check to see if the seller has the original receipt and packaging. Most of the counterfeit NBS cables do not have packaging.

I saved my receipts when I purchased my NBS and therefore they should maintain value MUCH better if and when I decide to sell.

RJ or anyone else, please feel free to contact me if you want real NBS cables. I will put you in touch with some valid dealers.
