Tributaries Cables

Are there any Tributaries Cable users out there?

I have been sent a very serious looking pair of Balanced Cables (Series 9) for my evaluation.

If there is any interest, I can post a pic.

They look like something out of an F1 race car.

I'd be interested in getting your impressions too. I've read good things about them in other reviews.

Im running some older copper and silver Tributaries cables (RCA'S). Some are yellow jacketed and some blue. I believe that the yellow jacketed ones are the silvers.

None of them look like race cars.

I am too lazy just to come up to look at cables - they must have a braided look to look like F1 parts.

Yup, looks like a stainless steel braid, but it's not.

Found pic.

Attachment 75912




Need better pics - the product description on their site is not very good.
