For Those Who Are Unaware of The Cable Company


If you are shopping for new cables and are intimidated by the enormous range of possibilities, The Cable Company might be of interest to you because: 

1) Their cable lending library is an affordable means of borrowing already burned in cables and auditioning them at home. 

2) They offer individualized advice based upon your budget, gear and sonic preferences. 

3) Return/refund policy. 

There have been some complaints in the past about salesmen pushing particular brands. This hasn't been my experience, however. I've repeatedly sought out the guidance of one particular guy and I couldn't be more satisfied with how I've been treated and the sonic improvements. If you are intersected, PM me and I will provide you with his name. 

They don't carry every cable in existence. Nobody does. But they carry a much greater range than anyone else I know of. Accordingly, my last 5 out of 6 cable purchases have been from them.

Seems The Cable Company experience largely depends on who serves you.

Paying more for advice and access to a variety of demo cables seems like a fair option, and likely a better chance of finding a great cable within budget.

I can’t think of a situation where what you say is not true. In any field, you will find variability in human capabilities, no? 

The borrow fee is credited toward purchases. You pay for shipping. FYI, their "sister site" is usedcables.com.

I was unaware TCC did repairs. 

 

@stuartk Just to clarify if I choose 3 cables to evaluate I only get the borrow fee back from the cable I buy? Never used this service before so just clarifying.
