I haven't tried much else that's any good, so I can't compare the PCAs to them, but I put mine on tonight and am just amazed at the difference. My wife just stood there listening with a smile.

For $30 a pair (.5m), I can't think of anything that would come close in the bang for the buck department. I'm reconsidering investing more money on a new CD player, since what I've heard (rotel, arcam, rega) didn't impress me nearly as much as these cables.
