"Super High Resolution Compact Disc Interconnect Cable.
Conventional cables run out of breath when trying to cope
with today's sound.  The incredible sonic capabilities
of the compact disc player pushes all your components
to their limit ... including your connecting cables.
The incredible resolution, awesome dynamic range, and
powerful bottom end available from your compact disc
player, are not fully reproduced when you use ordinary
interconnect cables.

Almost perfect.  The sound of today's compact discs
are impressive, but contrary to what the manufacturers
say, they're not perfect.  As audiophiles have recently
discovered, digital has a few shortcomings caused by
the relatively low sampling rate and phase shift effects
from steep analog filtering.  The music can become harsh
and edgy, 2-dimensional, and uncomfortable to listen to
for long periods of time.

Why a Special Cable for Compact Disc?  [product name] is
specially designed to compensate for the transient and
phase distortions of the digital process as well as
minimizing some of the `harshness' found in some CD
program material.  Using our revolutionary [trademark]
technology, we can control high frequency phase shift
to produce a more enjoyable, thoroughly musical sound:
bass is tighter, transients are quicker, and there's a
greater 3-dimensional depth to the music."
