The original Natural shown to the left. It was going to be a limited edition but the demand continued. It has "evolved" several times upgrading its performance to match or exceed the Truth II. The Truth II was Darwin's Flagship cable for years and knocked out many much more expensive competitors.
Trade Ins - Demos - B Stock Retired Models
True to the Darwin Theory of Evolution we are compelled to see just how far we can advance our purist design. We regularly test new materials and tweak our build. Even if we are the best in the business as some insist, for us, it's about getting better.
In the process, we end up with some world-class prototypes that may vary slightly, often just in the final look, from the "final" design.
Occasionally, we produce a cable with a slight cosmetic imperfection—and quite frankly, our quality control guy is so fussy, we usually can’t see the blemish. That’s B stock. Because he says so. Then there are evaluation cables that may come directly from our test systems, sometimes even our personal systems. Demo Cables and Show Samples are also available from time to time. IC's, Power Cables, Speaker Cables, Specialty Cables.
Finally, we may have some discontinued cables or overstock. Such is the price of Evolution. Every one of these cables meets our high standards and each comes with our 30-Day No Risk, Peace of Mind, Money Back Guarantee. The really good news is, they are all bargain priced. Even our discounted specials still come with the Darwin 30 Day No Risk Peace of Mind Money Back Guarantee.

ENLIGHTENMENTS
.5 Meter Enlightenment Extreme XLR: Need a short XLR that is truly world class? Yes, Darwin Cables are built by hand and sometimes Bill is tired and makes little mistakes. Your opportunity for a steal. When I built this cable I forgot the branding tubes. Fixing it would mean un-terminating and re-terminating and end on each cable leg. Sonically perfect and cosmetically perfect. I will ship this cable with a letter on Darwin Letterhead attesting to the fact that it is an Enlightenment Extreme. Essentially a new cable that was used only for Axpona 2026.

Keystone
2 Meter Keystone Speaker wires: 2.25M with banana plugs on both ends. This cable set was taken in trade by a customer who upgraded to Enlightenments. A genuinely excellent reference grade cable at a reasonable price. This new cable is 100% perfect sonically with very minor cosmetic wear. A great opportunity to get a set of Darwin Speaker wires with a money back guarantee.

1 Meter Truth II XLR: This cable taken in a trade up is in near perfect condition. The Truth II was our flagship cable for many years and still performs amongst the best cable in the world at any price. As musical and resolving as a New Natural 2 for a fraction of the cost.
