Cheap, any one can afford this cable.
Weakness:
None. Very Good cable, used for all my speakers, Would recommended to any one to try out, you will love the cable. Good sounds. Great cable made for the every day person who wants a cheaper cable but with little loss in sound quality. |

Very detailed, tight dynamic and deep bass, but the extreme upper register rolls off. The cables are very laid back and lean. The are hard to mate with interconnects, electronics, and speakers. I've used them with solid state and tubes to no avail. I keep wnting to believe that they will satisfy me, but in the end I'm dissatisfied. I've mated with Audio Quest, Kimber, and Dynamic Design and can't get a good fit. They have good qualities but it is very difficult to get synergy. |

Strength:
3 Digital inputs 2 coax,1 optical,DTS,Dolby Digital
Weakness:
lack of control of Dolby Digital and DTS switching..but not a major grumble NAD T741 Av reciever bought if for 249 on a scoop price from 449. Excellent clean sounding amp.Unfortunately for me I'm using it with old JVC speakers for mains and newer smaller kenwoods for rears but I know the potential for greatness my amp has i have clean sound with mild bass.And a subwoofer is not an option at the moment,Im thinking of KEF Q1s for mains as I listen to music more of all types.One of the cleanest av amps i ever heard and powerful too Similar Products Used: sony surround amp...early marantz amp and a sansui 300 watt amp all drove my JVCs |

Strength:
FANTASTIC MIDRANGE AND TREBLE SWEETNESS, CONTROLLED BUT SOFT BASS WHICH IS WHY I PREFERRED THEM
Weakness:
NONE IN MY SYSTEM OR ROOM MY SYSTEM CONSISTS OF MUSICAL FIDELITY X-A50S, MF X-PRE, MF X-PSU, MF X-24K DAC, RUARK PRELUDE RS,AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT A 10 YEAR OLD TECHNICS CD PLAYER I AM USING AS A TRANSPORT! SOUNDS DAFT BUT YOU SHOULD SEE THE PLAYER. ITS SUPERB.ANYWAY INTERCONNECTS ARE QED SILVER SPIRAL FROM DAC TO PRE, MYRYAD ANDROMEDA FROM PRE TO BOTH POWERS, VDH OPTOCOUPLER FROM CD TO DAC. OF ALL THE CABLES TRIED QED CAME ON TOP BECAUSE ALL THE OTHERS PRODUCED TOO MUCH BOOMY BASS. MY WALLS ARE SOLID, ROOM ABOUT 5m - 4m, AND EVERY CABLE SOUNDED AWFUL. TRIED RE POSITIONING SPEAKERS, SWAPPING OVER INTERCONNECTS NOTHING WORKED. ONLY WHEN I WIRED UP THE PROFILE SILVER 12 DID THE SOUND CHANGE AND IMPROVE. IT SOFTENED AND CONTROLLED THE BASS FAR BETTER THAN THE OTHERS AND THE MIDRANGE WAS CLEARER, SWEETER, MORE SPACIOUS. TREBLE WAS SWEET BUT NOT BRIGHT. SOME MAGAZINES SAY ITS A LITTLE TAME FOR ROCK MUSIC, MAYBE BUT IN MY ROOM AND SYSTEM THEY SOUND SUPERB. ALL MY FRIENDS AGREE. Similar Products Used: NORDOST FLATLINE, CABLE TALK 3.1 BI WIRE, QED SILVER ANN BI WIRE, VDH CS122 ( 2 RUNS ) |

I bought this cable after listening to the competition and I agree that it's transparent but if you have dull sounding source or speakers I wouldn't go near it. This isn't so much a criticism of the cable itself but partner with care. I know this cable works very well with over bright systems. Recommended with caution. |

Great sounds, lively and direct with extremely tight bass. The clarity of vocals were second to none. 'Em silver plating conductors did justice to an already superior sounding cable. I have NO reservation at all in recommending the profile silver to anyone who feels they need a cable change. |

This cable, at least in my system, is simply amazing. I've been compared them to Nordost Red Dawn, which cost 16-times more and must say that for my ears the Qed outperformed Reds in almost any aspect. I had MIT terminator 4 BiWire for a year, but now I know why I was not enjoying listening to music. |
