Cordial CFS 3 WW

I ordered this and the Sommer Cable HBA-3S, which was about twice the price of the Cordial. To my surprise, I preferred the Cordial and returned the Sommer Cable. Yes, the Sommer Cable was noticably thicker, but who knows how much of that thickness was copper and how much of it was PVC (I could not find the conductor area of it on the manufacturer's website (the Cordial's is 0.22 mm²)).

Also, the Rean (it is a budget-friendly Neutrik sub-brand) plugs on the Cordial cable are made of metal and can be easily disassembled should the need for a repair arise, whereas the Hicon plugs on the Sommer Cable were made from plastic and not only did not seem to come apart but also had rough and unsightly molding marks, completely unacceptable on such an expensive product.

The only criticism I have for the Cordial CFS3 WW is that there was a sticker near one of the plugs, whose glue residue was difficult to remove (I did not use any strong solvents because I feared damaging the jacket (i.e. the outermost layer of the cable)). Other than that, an excellent cable!
