Ooh, the Apex! Looks good, I'd love to put it up against the Oracle.

Now if only I could figure out how to make a good website. I have 29 days left on my trial of Dreamweaver...

One would think if it works fine on Dreamweaver it would work fine online... apparently not. Working on fixing it. Thanks guys.

Website looks nice.

On Safari (Mac) the menu bar makes a tiny expansion downwards when I click on one of the links in the menu bar. It looks like the font changes to one size bigger for a split second. On Firefox (Mac), the link that I click also changes its font for a split second and then changes back again. But this time the font doesn't get bigger but changes to something that looks like Times perhaps.

You might also consider installing Google Analytics to see where all that traffic is coming from and more. Very useful tool.

Can you clarify on the site how much extra per length unit for both the interconnects and headphone cables? For example, how much for a 1M length of the Apex ICs?

Also I see that your cheaper Oracle cable is a silver-alloy while the Apex is continuous-cast copper...is there a particular reason you went with the copper for a higher-end IC?

Looking forward to the pics which will answer more questions I have regarding the specific Furutech connectors being used, along with flexibility and weight.

I think it looks fine, and there's nothing that really needs to be changed, personally. Maybe consider aligning the table towards the top further, to reduce vertical scrolling a tad. I get some minor font inconsistencies in Firefox on vista on the top menu. I'd probably increase the font size, but thats a subjective thing that everybody is going to have their own opinion on.

Looks good, but you have alot of empty space at the top of the site. You might want to "lift" the everything a bit.

The Furutech connectors will be the FP-601M Gold XLR or the FP-101 Gold RCA.



I am updating the site as we speak with price per additional length. I had to calculate out the additional cost and didn't get to it last night.

The flexibility of the Apex will be excellent. Stiff cables especially when it comes to headphone cables is enough to make me never use them no matter how good they might be. The Apex is not as light and flexible as the Oracle (which is the lightest and most flexible headphone cable out there) but is pretty close. The Apex uses a thicker wire and thus will be a bit heavier and stiffer but will still be better than just about everything else out there.

Lastly, as to why copper for the Apex. Cheap copper can sound dull, grainy, flat, and veiled. Nice copper, like that of the Apex, can take those weaknesses and turn them into strengths. Gone is the grainy, dull, veiled sound. The Apex does everything the Oracle does but just a bit better. More depth, greater soundstage, better detail, speed and overall accuracy. These are some traits you expect from silver but that can be achieved with copper while eliminating the harshness, brightness and lack of depth you can find with pure silver.

I like it. The relevant information is there and is easy to locate.

I also like that you don't have acres of purple marketing prose claiming your cables will cure cancer or guarantee multiple orgasms. The more straightforward the better, in my opinion.

Thanks! I tend to stay away from the subjective and stick to the facts. I will let others decide if it has the power to create uni-corns and catch leprechauns.

In my experience the UPOCC stuff is as good as I've heard. And nice choice on the connectors, I've really liked working with the Furutech stuff.

The site has been updated to fix a few issues and adjust pricing to reflect cost per additional length.
