Underwood Hifi Cables


So now I’m back to stock cables and need 2 power cables and a pair of xlrs. I talked with Walter at Underwood about my situation. He stored my info and order but I am yet to order. Walters a very cool cat btw. Funny and blunt. Seems like a pretty good deal we worked out just don’t want to buy something that will not be an improvement. Any opinions on the cables from Underwood. I was looking at the mid grade cables that Walter talked highly of. 

thanks

Cables are like tennis shoes.
You kind of have to try them on to see which ones fit best.
I don't think there is any way to tell which ones are going to work best in your system any other way.

There is a huge market for used cables, and it works both ways. You can get some excellent deals if you're a buyer, but if you seller, you're going to take a hit.
With the amount I am buying I am getting what I consider a very substantial discount. Gonna do 2 pairs of xlrs since at some point I’m sure i will add dac and tube pre. 
Think I might give it a go. I’ll let y’all know what the outcome is. 
Not a real easy way to just try out cables. Yeah they have the cable store but you are in 10% for every one you try. At least that’s the way I read it. If you are looking at pricey ones that gets to be a lot of money real quick. 
Sorry to say, but buying anything without listening is always a crapshoot.  Does Underwood give a trial period? If not, maybe you are better off going with a used name brand in case you want to flip it later. Then again, Wally does have an excellent reputation and I doubt he wants people coming on here and saying I bought his cables and they were crap. But will you like them? Who knows.

On the technical side...
  • they use OFC copper wire, which is far from optimum - look for UP-OCC copper or Furutech Alpha wire
  • they use copper plugs, which are better than brass/bronze, but not as good as silver plated copper
  • They probably employ a conventional cable geometry, so they will suffer the same noise problems as any other conventional cable on the market
They will perform better than a stock power cable

The DH Labs Power Plus PC would probably be better (at a similar price point) and have some resale value

If you can DIY it I can recommend a vastly superior option, but it requires more  effort  than simply attaching some plugs to a piece of bulk cable
