Superb sound (or lack thereof).

Outer mesh is a bit flimsy, cost (always an issue).

This is an extremely nice cable -- very well rounded in terms of not emphasizing one area of frequency over another. Bass is very tight, especially upper bass and lower midrange. Beautiful highs, though not quite as clean as the Anaconda (hey, it's half the price). Midrange is extremely clean and clear.

I auditioned this cable with a bunch of others and while the Audio Magic was close to it in terms of performance, the Python was clearer overall. I liked it so much I ended up with the next step up, the Anaconda. Same sound but a tad clearer overall, tighter bass, extremely clear highs.

If you can afford the steep price, this is one killer cable.

Note that I tested only XLR cables -- I cannot comment on these in unbalanced form.
