At least we now know the snakes in the snake-oil are anacondas. I saw these (or similar) at a dealer ~30 years ago. Marketed by Mapleshade?

BTW, this brand of cables exists, although apparently not for audio purposes:

Anaconda® Brand​

"When it comes to reliability and performance in a mining cable, one name stands alone. Anaconda® Brand is the Industry standard for toughness, flexibility and extremely long life. Engineered to endure the most severe and extreme demands of the toughest mining applications, Anaconda Brand—the world’s premier extra-heavy-duty mining-grade cable."

This from an Anaconda Brand mining cable catalog. Why aren't the after-market power cable guys using this? AWG = 1! Does Furutech make wall outlet connectors and carbon fiber outlet plates to fit this? 3.5 inches/87 mm o.d.; 6.5 lbs per ft/9.5 kg per m; 536 ampacity. The catalog uses units of 1000 feet or kilometer lengths. Enough to make power cords for all your gear!

For me, it is interesting looking at the PDF catalog of "ANACONDA Mining Cable";
- https://na.prysmian.com/sites/na.pr...nts/INS-0044-R1014_Mining_Catalog_ENGLISH.pdf

Since I actually use "industry-use" multi-core cable "Vinyl Cabtyre Cables" (made in Japan) as my SP cables in mutlichannel audio rig, as I have shared here, here and here. (For details of my latest system setup, please refer to here).

I use 8-m long "Vinyl Cabtyre Cable" of AWG12ｘ8-core (5.24 Ohm/km) and AWG10 x 4-core (3.37 Ohm/km) which almost corresponds to CAT #09208 (AWG12 x 8-core) and CAT #09005 (AWG10 x 5-core), respectively, of ANACONDA Super Vu-TronR Multi-Conductor Type S00W (90 degreeC, 600 Volt, UL/CSA Portable Cord).

Where can I buy an additional closet?

Audio racks/furniture ain’t cheap anymore

Most hardware stores will sell you a WC ... Water Closet.

WBC advices to allow a 175 hours of burn in time for optimal performance.

Now I have to listen to around 175 cd‘s…

Should I take this seriously ?

Btw I used Kimber PBJ they were way to long (due to former setup) and I wanted a normal cable…

 

[BDWoody]

Should I take this seriously ?

No.

When you hear “burn in” - better walk away.

Should I take this seriously ?

No. Unless by 'take this seriously' you mean 'take seriously that this company is full of it, and is playing customers for fools'.

 

[Tres]

I thought so.

WBC seems like a no BS company. The 175 hours are probably ment for me getting used to their cable ?

Why are companies saying it then ?

I really hope their cables don't have a sound to get used to. Most of us assume this is just to make sure you are past the return period when you realize that a well-insulated and adequate gage copper cable is both a) inexpensive and b)fully transparent at normal household lengths.
