I've been very surprised that the only place one can find reviews or even a thread about these newish high-end IC and speaker cables is on the PS Audio forum. They have gained a very good reputation there, and are being favorably compared to the high-end Nordost offerings.
Granted that the Belden marketing has been non-existent, and that their web page (http://info.belden.com/iconoclast) is offal, and mostly dead, but the XLR cables are very good indeed, in my experience (particularly in their Series 2 incarnation) and the speaker cables are said to be even more impressive.
There are six excellent technical papers on the design of audio cables by Galen Gareis, the genius designer, which can be found in issue #48 and later of the PS Audio e-zine Copper https://www.psaudio.com/article/cables-time-is-of-the-essence-part-1/
(PS Audio has no business interest in these cables at this time.)
I'd be very interested in comments from the group on these relatively new (about two years) cables.
I've attached two documents: one is the test sheet supplied with my XLRs, and the second is a document describing the development of the Series 2 XLRs.
