Strength:
Great connections, Great quality, Overall good cable
Weakness:
none First off I like the stiffnes of the cables. Just make sure to get a good length because they don't end up to be able to go as far as other 1m interconnnects. I got these off ebay and for the price they are untochable in sound quality. These are the first pre to power cables I have used in my new system so I really can't write a good review. I did just to make sure they weren't all hype try out a AR and a 3 strand silver interconnect for a little while and the TMC absolutly beat them but both of those are under $150. Overall I am very satisfied. However I would like to see then make an XLR version of this cable. Similar Products Used: a lot |

These TMC cables are NOT the best as some may have claimed. If you can afford to spend super mega big bucks, then there are many other cables to choose from like : Kimber Select or Nordost Valhalla or Silver Audio or Siltech. |

Low cost,smoothness, dynamics,detail,silent background
Weakness:
Stiff,somewhat hard to work with Well after almost two months I have finally come around to A/B this vs the White label on my Cary CD player. Originally I thought that the White Label was a better cable, however the Yellow just takes a bit longer to burn in. The White label sounds terrific after only a couple of hours while the Yellow label still sounded a litte bit harsh until further burn-in. After doing an A/B comparison of the two I find that the Yellow is more dynamic and resolute in my system while still maintaining the smoothness throughout the music spectrum. It actually depends on the quality of your system, the difference may range from subtle to quite noticable. They are both very very good cables that compete with others that are much more expensive. (I actually preferred the White in my system to the Audioquest Diamond Hyperlitz that an audiophile friend loaned me) He loves the Yellow and will use it on his CD player. I will keep the Yellow on my CD player and have just moved the White to my tuner. I will be adding another White label to my Lehmann Black Cube. I also have the TMC speaker cable. My advice is to buy the 2 pack (Yellow and White) and try them in your system, unless you are on a tight budget. In that case spend the extra bucks for the Yellow. All I need now is to get a 5 meter Yellow for my pre/amp to amps! What more can I say? These may be some of the most musical and natural sounding cables regardless of cost!

Strength:
Warm, detailed, Great control of bass, attractive jacket, great for subs, price, customer service, just a great cable
Weakness:
stiff, you have to order out of the country I decided to upgrade my home theater system so I started searching for the perfect cable. I wanted Transparent only because I heard that that was the best. I auditioned it and didn't like it because it was just too bright for my liking. Similar Products Used: generic rca cable junk, audioquest coral, transparent music wave plus, monster |

Strength:
Excellent in every respect, soundstage is outstanding I agree with previous reviewers that these are most remarkable in all respects (including unbelivable price at this point). I just wish to to add here that I was simply struck by how the soundstage (and focus) improved in my system. It not only made (all) the walls disappear, but somehow it extended towards the listening position, adding this wonderful feeling of involvement. Similar Products Used: Synergistic research, AQ |

Strength:
Brings out the best in any system, great sound!
Weakness:
None After installing the TMC cables the difference can be compared to standing in a 1 foot deep by 20ft wide brook, (pretty but noisy - the water being the music...) to floating over a mile-wide by 100ft deep river (Very large and quiet soundstage with stronger emotions).
