The cable itself might be great, but unfortunately, the plugs are not. While even at a lower price Cordial provides disassemblable (for when something goes wrong) all-metal REAN plugs, for some strange reason, Sommer Cable has decided to go with molded plastic ends. That would be fine if the ends were molded nicely, but sadly, they are not. Yes, the molding marks could be removed with a razorblade or something of that nature, but customers should not have to do this with a brand-new cable priced this high. This is why I decided to return it and go with the Cordial alternative.
