As anyone who visited us at AK-Fest 2006 probably knows, Soundstring is currently Venus Hi-Fi's favorite line of audio cables. In fact, it's been our favorite for the past couple of years!

Our only complaint about Soundstring was that the cables' pricing put them just beyond the budgets of many audiophiles who could readily appreciate their qualities. Well, that concern has now been addressed by the company. Over the summer, Soundstring took the opportunity to consolidate all of its operations (manufacturing, assembly, packaging, shipping, marketing, and sales) under one roof, and also updated its production equipment to streamline productivity and to minimize waste and daily start-up costs. The end result of these changes is significant cost savings that are now being passed on to consumers.

To be specific, here are the old and new retail prices of Soundstring's most popular items:

1) Octaphase Alpha unshielded interconnects (3' pair): old price = $430, NEW PRICE = $290

2) Octaphase Omega shielded interconnects (3' pair): old price = $488, NEW PRICE = $298

3) Tricormaxial speaker cables (9' pair): old price = $718, NEW PRICE = $430

4) Tricormaxial high-output power cable (6' unit): old price = $546, NEW PRICE = $304

5) Tricormaxial digital power cable (6' unit): old price = $40, NEW PRICE = $34

Of course, other lengths are available for all of the above, and Soundstring also manufactures a number of products not listed here. For details, please contact us. And for more information about the complete Soundstring line, click here (http://www.soundstringcable.com/html/index.html).
