By Harmless Gryphon (Nowhere worth mentioning) - See all my reviews
I knew my day was going to improve when the truck pulled up at my home with this cable deep within. No ordinary truck, this one was Holy White, and the gold Delivery logo sparkled like a thousand suns reflected through shards of the purest ice formed with unadulterated water collected at the beginning of the universe. The driver, clad in a robe colored the softest of white, floated towards me on the cool fog of a hundred fire extinguishers. He smiled benevolently, like a father looking down upon his only child, and handed me a package wrapped in gold beaten thin to the point where you could see through it. I didn't have to sign, because the driver could see within my heart, and knew that I was pure. Upon opening the package, an angelic choir started to sing, and reached a crescendo as I laid this cable on my stereo system. Instantly, my antiquated equipment transformed into components made from the clearest diamond-semiconductor. The cable knew where to go, and hooked itself into the correct ports without help from me - all the while, the choir sang praises to the almighty digital god. With trepidation, I pushed "play," and was instantly enveloped in a sound that echoed the creation of all matter, a sound that vibrated every cell in my body to perfection. I was instantly taken to the next plane, where I saw the all-father. I knew with my entire soul, that all was good in the world.
But then I realized the cable was blue, so I only gave it one star. I hate blue.
Danger, misleading illustration, January 9, 2009
By Gm Spencer "bass instincts" (Coventry, UK) - See all my reviews
Please please, don't do what I did and attach the lead in the manner illustrated. Using the cable in the shown configuration made it into a self-resonating Helmholtz coil which made all of the electricity in the neighbourhood travel in a corkscrew wave- that was trouble for a while, what with light from all domestic lamp bulbs displaying characteristics of Gigantic Red-Shift as observed from a low-Earth orbit spy satellite. I'm not kidding, Google Maps now sees my town as being in the spiral arm of the Andromeda Galaxy thanks to the GPS recursive paradox superposition effect generated in the ultra-pure crystal matrix of the refined copper polycoaxial strands. Good job it wasn't made of simple standard ethernet cable or we'd be in the centre of the crab nebula by now.
This simple oversight was easily remedied however by unplugging the lead and replacing it with the near-identical appearence cable I found near to hand, i.e. the cotton-woven sheath electrical cord attached to my grandmothers' 1950s electric steam iron. And WHOA, do the sub bass flutter notes stop wavering exponentially when the sound comes out of the base plate with the steam setting now tuned to 'Linen ***'

Latency? What latency?, January 9, 2009
By Steven W. (Vicksburg, MS) - See all my reviews
At first I was a bit skeptical about purchasing this cable given all of the reviews. Boy was I wrong! I plugged this cable from my modem to my router and then another one from the router to my PC. I now have no latency at all and in fact, I play 15 seconds ahead in time. Unfortunately my hair has started falling out due to radiation poisoning, but that is a small price to pay to see a glimpse of the next 15 seconds in my PC games!

tremendous performance, November 6, 2008
By velociraptor - See all my reviews
I bought several of these and used them to string my tennis racket. I have never been beaten since. If I don't hit the ball just right on serving, they seem to simply disappear into thin air. But well hit, my top service speed has been clocked at over 3,200 mph. However, 2 weeks ago I accidently killed one my doubles opponents. It was terrible. People, please be careful with these.

An investment for the future, October 22, 2008
By Tivadar Mach "mivadar" (Bremen, Germany) - See all my reviews
This beautiful hand-crafted cable has been lovingly assembled atom by atom by a dedicated artist.
Each cable is unique - for customer convenience, arrows point to the 5 nm x 5 nm signature of its creator at the end of the cable.
Like that of an original Picasso, the value of this cable is only likely to increase over time, making it a safe investment in these troubled times.
To preserve the cable's pristine condition for future resale at auctions, remember never to plug the cable into an appliance!
If you are not just purchasing as an investment but want to take pride in your possession, you may wear it to state dinners and receptions.

MADE ME FERTLE!!, September 25, 2008
By J. Breimann (Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews
For months my wife and I were trying to have a baby and we had no luck. A good friend told me about the Denon AKDL1 Dedicated Link Cable. Sure, I knew it was the best for connecting Ethernet-enabled devices such as printers but boy was I in for the surprise of my life!
When my Denon AKDL1 Dedicated Link Cable arrived my wife and I simply removed it from the packaging and placed it on the night table. Before we knew it we were having babies like nobody's business!!!! SO MANY BABIES!!!!! 400 BABIES!!!!!!!!!
This cable does allow for incredible sound. However, I believe a possible side-effect from the use of this cable has not been noted by the manufacturers. Upon playing Prince's "Kiss" my speakers ... how should I put this? ... Well, I think they ... climaxed.
That's not the end of it. Oh, no. My stereo system is now sentient. And horny. Not one of my other appliances has warranty coverage for ... well ... the kind of 'damage' they are currently receiving.
I'd just unplug the darn thing, but it's developed an ability to arc pure energy when it feels threatened. It took two scorched electricians to figure that out. And, yes, I've already tried flipping the breaker switch. Doesn't work. The power won't go out. I don't understand how the hell it pulled that off.
Please, if anyone has any tips or advice, I'm getting desperate. My living room is some kind of sick, mechanical sex den and it's really freaking me out.
Well upon receiving this truly sexy cable I just held it up to my face for a minute... transcendental! I have never had a rush like that! Then I noticed that the cut on my hand had disappeared!! Wow. I broke a toe years ago .. never healed right so I wrapped this truly amazing cable around that foot.. guess what no more broken toe! So I thought being overweight I would try wrapping it around my middle... well I did lose 40 pounds but that wasn't the amazing thing. As the weight melted away the cable slipped downward from my stomach coming to rest on my... well just below my stomach. OMG! You would not believe the feeling. So I wrapped the cable around my .. well you know I sorta wrapped it with the cable.. and ... and then...
I'll be in my bunk..

Life-saving cable, June 23, 2008
By A. Cathro "adamc68" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
I had a choice - get this cable or pay for my gran's life-saving operation.
I opted for the cable, and I'm so glad I did. It's made no difference whatsoever to my hi-fi equipment, but now my grandmother is dead. And I couldn't stand her.
Thanks Denon!
based on the superb reviews, I am buying this fabled equipment as a gift for my wife, in time for our 4th anniversary. I think it would make for a beautiful necklace.

It's full of stars!, June 20, 2008
By S. Mayo - See all my reviews
If Denon had captured the Divine light of creation and distiled it into 1.5 meters of ultramegaradioactive copper, it could not have been better than this cable. Just holding the packaging it comes in, I can see distant galaxies and, though you may not believe it, hear what the aliens there are thinking. THAT is how good this cable is. Just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes. Honestly, looking at it is better than foreplay. You feel wracking orgastic shivers just touching it. I just know that zeros and ones will achieve true integer perfection when they travel this cable. But I'm afraid to actually install it. I might die.
Denon has, in marketing this, permanently entered the rarified realm of vendors inhabited by the likes of Machina Dynamica. I honestly can't think of a better way to express my feelings on this product, than that. I'm breathless to see what they want to sell us next!
The Denon ADKL1 Dedicated Link Cable is my favorite worldly possession. Late at night, I lie awake in anticipation of the day I can afford to replace my receiver with one which can connect to this, the ultimate digital cable.
This particular digital cable somehow makes your ones more one with the universe and your zeros less so, so it acts like an expander for your mind and soul. I haven't connected it yet, but already I feel comforted and more alive than ever.
My receiver lacks the requisite female connector and that makes it seem so useless, like the kind of receiver a poor person or an imbecile would have. I've become self-conscious about owning it, and have hidden it and my shame away until such time as I become worthy of a proper receiver. I post this review as a sort of audiophile confessional to assuage my deep and abiding hatred for myself. Soon, I will return to the beautiful Denon shipping container to handle this magnificent cable, but I must wait for the sun to kiss the horizon and provide suitable lighting for such an activity.

I don't have much time., June 23, 2008
By John A (Border of Wasteland, former Canada) - See all my reviews
This connection isn't sound. If my calculations are correct, it should be sometime around 2007 for whomever is reading this. DO NOT USE THESE CABLES. Something... happens with them. Something came through, something from somewhere else. We were overrun in days, not many of us are left. WE LIVE UNDERGROUND! ONLY YOU CAN STOP IT NOW. SAVE US. DO NOT USE THESE CABLES.

Great cable, but too fast., June 23, 2008
By Matthew Sidor "seadour" (Boulder, CO USA) - See all my reviews
Transmission of music data at rates faster than the speed of light seemed convenient, until I realized I was hearing the music before I actually wanted to play it. Apparently Denon forgot how accustomed most of us are to unidirectional time and the general laws of physics. I tried to get used to this effect but hearing songs play before I even realized I was in the mood for them just really screwed up my preconceptions of choice and free will. I'm still having a major existential hangover.
Would not purchase again.

Cables Beyond Quality, June 22, 2008
By P. B. Jones (Rolwaling valley and in the Helambu region north of Kathmandu) - See all my reviews
In life one rarely encounters a product of such complete and total perfection. The so called dedicated link cable from Denon's nearest competitor is positively shambolic by comparison. This product costs US$500 and in my opinion that is bloody value for such quality and best in class performance. The cable installs, at each end, into it's receptacle with a satisfactory click. I spent hours simply plugging and unplugging it, then it was time for the purging of ear particulate mater. Through the usual high pressure water/vacuum method recommended by auditory wizard Harry Earl Winston III I was ready to experience this gift from the gods. Immediately thereafter I walked into the music chamber and closed the airlock door. I placed upon the golden turntable Pachelbel Canon in D Major and began to power up the sundry equipment and surround speakers. Two hours later I sat upon the ice block and switched on the final power button. In an explosion of sound I was warped into another dimension. Something was wrong, but oh, so right. My Denon AKDL1 Dedicated Link Cable with its high-purity copper wire had instantly accelerated Mozart from 40 beats per minute to almost 400,000,000,000 beats per second. As it pulsed through my existence shredding and then recombobulating by intellect, my senses and awareness were transcended. I instantly became a greater being, a provider of life and a devourer of worlds. I now speak 500 Earth languages, read minds and can read the nutritional information on a box of Count Chocula from more than a thousand kilometers away in an instant.
I live now amongst the sherpas in the ancient and hidden Rolwaling valley region north of Kathmandu where they treat me as a man-god. Am I a god? Can I drive my enemies out before me with merely a thought? Can I hear the lamentations of their women and children? I am reticent! Although I am legally deaf in any spiritually bankrupt Occidental reckoning, I hear the world with my mindsey...ears. and my mind speaks to you with is minds...mouth: 'I command thee obsequious fools, buy these cables for the salvation of mankind!'
Now I must leave you as my servant prepares to roll me to the palace gardens for contemplation time.

I I can walk again, June 22, 2008
By C. Meeks - See all my reviews
Since the fairground accident, I thought I would never walk again. But when my great uncle, an orthopedic surgeon, showed me Denon's wondrous new technology in the Journal of the American Medical Association, I elected to try this new breakthrough in medical science.
Early this March, a team of surgeons at Stanford University Hospital removed my spine and replaced it with the AKDL1. I never thought I would walk again, but in early April, I took my first steps. And two months later, today, I am walking on the beach. Also I have spontaneous teleportation abilities.
Thanks, Denon, for making me laugh about life again. Denon. Won't you?
