This cable stuff is a marketing business. They can't make the product better, because the truth of the matter is a coat hanger will do the
job.
So If you don't pay the piper you get slammed. If you don't advertise in this 'phile' or that 'phile' you don't get reviewed.
Heck I can design and build cables that I can't distinguish from cables costing thousands of dollars. And I'm just a shmuck. So you have got to have clever marketing skills to peddle your wares. This cable business never ceases to amaze me.
