The fact that they haven't signed up for the demo trial speaks volumes. I and many have compared our PC-1.5 with cables of all sorts from stock to costing up to many thousands of dollars, including a couple of our own, which we have pulled off the market. We like ours, it is sometimes so in your face the difference, especially on a system that have thumpy bass (about 80% of those that I hear), sometimes very subtle.
When I started with the GF cabling I was myself a 'frugalphile' (still am by heart) and the approach was to get some decent cabling at affordable prices for our customers, so that they didn't have to 'play' the cable tweak game specially if new to the game, kind of get some decent quality cables from any reputable supplier and forget about it, we have tubes to roll :thmbsp:
We priced the PC-1.5 just above the box stores stuff and below just about everyone else. The PC-1.5 has just been a suprise, a few tweaks here and there and it is a winner. In the thread link I posted in the OP, I basically tell you how to build your own or tweak your own cables (stock or otherwise). You can probably build your own for about $50 to $75, but you won't get our recipe
The first feedback for the PC-1.5 came from one of our local dealers who had a 100w/ch (Class A) Pass Labs MonoBlock System that for the life of it, never sounded right, especially for the money, no matter what speakers or source went on it, zero synergy. This was for well over a year, the distributor had supplied the power cables, which where $1.5k ea, famous name (no I won't go there). I had one PC-1.5 for the manager to check out, he asked me for three, which I brought in. He went direct to Pass rig and swapped out the power cabling. The difference was not subtle, it was night and day. The owner came out form his office asking what happened, he could hear the difference from his office. The system finally sold about a month later, the store then had the GF cable on every system.
Next up was a very good customer and local audiophile that almost everyone who makes gear here in Calgary goes to to check out their new gear on his main and 2nd systems. He took home one or two to try, came back the next day for 6, has since bought enough to redo his entire systems (3 or 4 systems!, at least 15 cables) and he bought some for one of his buddies systems and that buddy distributes very high-end Korean Tube gear.
That was all about 2 years ago now and just about every time someone gets one they notice the positive difference and usually get more. My favourite part being the 2 reviewers (so far) that were skeptics too, just got the order today for the 2nd one who is completing his system with the GF power chords
