I just signed up and received the standard 'Thanks for contacting us' auto-reply. There was a mention, on the sign-up page, of being e-mailed with specific info shortly...

Sounds like a "scam" to collect email addresses for future advertising/blast emails. But, I'm suspicious by nature. We'll see if anyone actually gets a "free" cable.......

On 12/9/09: I WAS WRONG

Just got an email from them..

"Thanks for signing up for our "Experience the Difference" ElixirŪ Cable sample. We are happy to say you signed up fast enough and will indeed receive a 20' cable! We'll ship your cable before the holidays (via USPS), so you should expect to receive it shortly."

I know they did this with their strings and I got a free set. We'll see. I'm in.

We'll see. If I start getting BS e-mails, I'll just block them.

While I'm sure the collected info will be used for their own marketing, I don't mind that because I like their products. However if they sell my info I'll be very annoyed.

Signed up, probably foolishly.

They'll leave this up until they get bored with harvesting names.

I can't imagine what they want to "survey" about these cables anyway. Gristlehead imaginary cable physics? How much more "awesome tone" and output you get out of their cable?
