In answering the question above....he is in Canada.A further reply to one of my previous posts regarding his new cables,specfically his new Apparition lines have had the opportunity to demo his new XLR Apparition line over the past 3 weeks. I had previously tried his RCA Apparition line and thought it was the best RCA cable I had ever tried. I asked a very good friend to also try them out and he, too,thought they were the best rca cables he he'd tried....He is still using them currently. A little less then a year ago I blew an output transformer on my superb SET mono blocks, Left channel,requiring a new amp for my system as the former designer was unable to fix the problem.......LONG STORY.I recently settled on a new PASS LAB amp which I am very happy with. It has options for either RCA or XLR inputs.I initially put Rick's Apparition RCA cables in and immediately loved what I heard.The sound was very very close to what I had previously heard. with My Grail SET amps.I emailed Rick with my thoughts and he suggested I might want to try the XLR Apparition version, which I did.I was/am amazed at how much better my sound is with the XRR Apparition cables.My current sound is better than it was with the RCA Apparition cables on my SET mono blocks.I have about 50 hrs on the cables so far.I still have my Tidal Contriva Diacera-SE speakers , my Lumin X1 player, my REL 212 SX subs x 2, my Silversmith Audio Fidelium speaker cables, my Bella Sound Kalua 2 power cable, my Nordost Valhalla 2 Ethernet cable.and my digital switch.The Apparition XLR interconnect is, without a doubt the most musical, quick, cable with no harshness, great clarity, with great bass and a great musical presentation. I know I have only scratched the surface of what is to come from these great cables. I will get back in about 100 hrs for an update..calloway
