I got a pair used, but not even 10000000 hours will get these to compete with the entry level AQ or Isotek cables. But him claiming it could compete with the Dragon PC is laughable. He should have said that his cable could hold some ground to the AQ Monsoon. Although there is no way that would be true either, it would have made his cable look better. Its really just junk being sold for $300 when you can easily get one of those "audiophile" Chinese ones on Amazon for $50.
I lost $200 on the pair of Frankens I bought and it doesn't suck too bad. I learned my lesson, in this hobby like all things, you get what you pay for. No one is out doing charity for any of us. It could have been much worse. I could have bought them new for $600. If someone wants these. I can sell them both for $100 shipping included to cut my losses some.
