Short and uneven lengths after shrink-wrap combined with very high stiffness force awkward bends to maintain connection

This has finally, today led to breakage

I had similar cables to Zman's at one point and thought they sounded really good. I'd be interested to hear how his sound since he takes it to another level with cryo and the other things he does to them. One of these days I'll pull the trigger and try out a pair.
The ones I had were spades on the ends which looks like might be better if it's tight behind your gear or speakers. It's also good to know Zman is a fellow AC member and is around to take care of you.

They do sound really good, but, to be fair, I've only used them about two weeks.

If I'd had more play after the heatshrink it would be better. But with that uneven length you had to make the red cable contort on itself to go in.
