If I can come to any conjectures based on upon your posted "system vitae" and that of kavakidd ...always a questionable outcome...the choice of adjectives (stunning, surpassed, replaced) struck me as strong recommendations. It peaked my interest to look further into the products that you replaced.I have not heard the Omega wires, but Loyld Walker's reputation precedes him. I tracked down a link to his Omega Mikro cables and they seem to be a informed effort at taking a unique approach coming out of working with those in the production chain.
Those using his efforts are definitely in the "deep end" that few seldom tread....myself included. I probably need to come up for some air and walk over to my local Home Depot to ask for more their plebian/pratical opinions of copper foil as a cable....or stutter out something like:
"By the way, Sir, can you tell me which aisle I might find extention cords ? I'm going to be needing about 25 feet of it...would it come in black and orange as well? I planning a... Hallow'een party in... 8 months...and...yah !???!!!
I'm not sure which query would get me the the larger of the raised eyebrows but I think that I may need to retract my comments about Paul (Seydor) and his role as an errant sacrifical lamb at TAS. As the Omega Mikro begain over a decade ago(and is still a listed product at MapleShde) that has made the review circles at major publications , it would be interesting if RH or HP care to chime in and comment on their personal opinions of the HD 14 gauge as a sleeper cable ?
