Right. My knowledge of the super high end is limited. :) I have a Marantz SR-8200 receiver that I bought back in 2002 that's still humming along nicely. 90% of the time it's on playing Dora the Explorer DVD's for my daughter, so it's not like I'd have any need to update anytime soon. Hayes

Yeah, but the types of people who are buying $500 cables are not the types that will typically buy Denon gear. They're more in Marantz, Rotel, NAD, etc. territory. (And even Marantz is pretty low brow in the audiophile world.) Working quite well is another story. I know people with HTIAB

You guys don't know what you're talking about. Have you even tried this cable or are you just believing what people tell you? This cable brought out the highs in my music better than any cable I have ever used. Better than my Pear Anjou's, Stealth Indra's even my MT Oracle cable. You guys
