I placed my order today and can't wait to see how the balanced XLR does in my system.  In the past I have used RCA Single ended cables that came recommended highly such as Chimera, Jaden, and Pulsars.  All great cables.

Interestingly enough, I ordered 2 pair tonight - one RCA, one XLR - to compare in my system. 

While I'd love to compare an XLR version of my current favorite cable to the SE version I own, it isn't remotely economically feasibly.  I haven't heard the cable I ordered tonight, but if it's anything like the cable two (3?) versions ago, I have little doubt I'll be able to accurately determine whether or not balanced cables improve the sound.

I still have certain reservations, but none are related to the cables themselves.  They're excellent IMO, better than anything I've auditioned at 10x their price point.

Hi Nick,

I haven't heard Grover's latest cable, and I don't know to which European manufacturer you're referring.  Even so, I'd be surprised if Grover's ICs aren't at least their equal.

FWIW...

-Jim

Hi Jim
Well, the Euro manufacturer is Lessloss, the same folks that make the DAC 2004. It was my screwup on the I/C price. They list it per mono meter. Old price was 275 Euros a meter. I found their information on cable materials and geometry quite interesting. Whether it's true or not, I don't know. I was also quite curious about their PC, but that's 400 Euros for 2 meters.
They are very pleasant to deal with and quite prompt with replies to inquiries. Well, it gives me something to think about... :roll:
Regards
Nick

I have finished processing the order. 27 cables so far! I am waiting on a couple questions and a couple more orders that were placed verbally to materialize. Meantime, any other last minute orders are welcome today only. Paypal only.

I will post the spreadsheet sometime today once I get a new login for FTP on the new server.
Thanks everybody who ordered!
Rich

Make that 31 pairs of cables!

Last time it only took a few weeks. I didn't think the delivery took too long, but some people were more excited to get theirs and were watching the male box closely  :lol:  I will ask for his best estimate.

Rich,

Can't you send the PayPal money direct to Grover through PayPal?

If you do, then Grover will also pay the % charge again.  Just register one of your bank accounts with PayPal and do a transfer.  There is no fee for a bank transfer.

Will the cables come from directly from Grover?
