Glad you like the review. That's actually a cat. Of course, Hagrid was a Maine Coon, so it's not hard to mistake him for a dog.

The Dayton Audio line of interconnect cables from Parts Express are also good quality at a very reasonable price. I'm very happy with my set of balanced and unbalanced analog and optical digital cables and will buy more when the need arises.

A word of caution regarding cables using silver-plated copper wire. This wire is very prone to corrosion known as "red plague" in the electronic industry. Microscopic imperfections in the plating combined with moisture lead to corrosion that disintegrates the copper core. This condition is known to exist even in mil-spec silver-plated wire, so I expect it could exist in audio interconnects. Wouldn't be too pleasant to have an expensive acquisition self destruct, unless you plan to replace your interconnects every few years.
