Last I heard from Belden, they said they were having a staff meeting about the cables in a couple weeks and would get back to me.
A sales associate named Bob Howard ... to my understanding the interconnects are still being re-worked into a new design and won't be available for another week or so.
For audition purposes, they require a credit card authorization before shipment. And your card is billed when you decide to keep them or them make you a different length. If you decide to simply return the audition products then your card is never actually charged.
I would take him up on the offer, but since I can't afford them it doesn't make sense to me to audition them in the first place.

Agree, though if there was a company out there that had the resources to put into designing an all out cable Belden would be one of them IMO and they have peaked my interest, but $4600 seems pretty crazy for a 10 foot pair of Tin Plated Copper wires, of course he said there was more to it than the wire and that the design is every bit as important as the conductor materials ...

He has 10' pairs of speaker cables available for an in home (no risk) 30 day trial and is pretty confident they will best anything I have. At that price they better! I don't have that kind of money to blow on actual gear let alone speaker wire. It would be an interesting experiment though!
