The LS25 has suddenly become very popular causing a few solvable problems in time.
So at this moment in time there will be NO UK retailers for EWA cables due to shortages of materials.
I am looking into the whole of the market scene, and the cables will only be available direct for a short period of time direct from EWA until I can solve the shortage problem.
Sorry for the inconvenience folk.

However MC5 and LSV are still in stock and as is limited run of LS25

Had a couple of the troops over last night.

Off the back of what they heard one of them placed an order this morning.

By far and away the best speaker cable i have ever used.

A lot more expensive, though.

A lot more expensive, though.But worth it, and in comparison to the spend on amps, turntables, cartridges, speakers etc, it's a cost I'm more than happy with [emoji4]

Buy cheap buy twice.

Ive tried most of the budget speaker cables that do the rounds and have enjoyed a lot of them but any cable Colin has designed and ive paid my hard earned for has remained in my own and my sons systems.

Not cheap but quality tends not to be-well worth the money IMHO.

Why did he want 300M Tony, big house ? or sound stage for the Alloa Wasps ? :lol:
I do hope he enjoys them.

Hi Dave but a lot less expensive than Bling cables we have designed and have been botched by marketing. Me thinks. And a real sod to make and get the right material mix, it is not ring mains cable after all.
About time you tried it maybe??

so, what are the materials ?

Colin Wonfor

The correct gage of wire and the thickness of the PTFE on it, and the chemical constitution of the metal in alloy in the wire, getting a 5% Uranium was hard work, and the insulation had to be black so the light would not spoil the enjoyment of music. :lol: (not fairy lights)

The wire alloy and PTFE was a problem.

Oh and before you ask the Alloy I like is with Iridium.

The reason Colin is vague with his reply is that he's been shafted by so many people over the years, it's no wonder he doesn't want to reveal the component parts.

In this day and age where so many people's ideas are ripped off and cloned I'm surprised any designer or manufacturer reveals anything.

Don't take it personally [emoji6]

Just buy some and try it, don't think you'd regret it [emoji4]

I'd love to but with talk of running out of materials etc, it is a bit disconcerting. If you can make them again, please make contact.

Selling my TQ Ultra Black, Colins own cable just over 2m length terminated by his own fine hand, blag a bargain whilst you can! (Etc etc) :)

Colin has a 3m set of the LV-25 set aside for me, looking to upgrade to that, hence the sale.

Colin Wonfor

I believe the 'shortage' is now sorted.

You REALLY don't want to help me upgrade my cable, do you Col? :)

Having now made contact with Elsdon Wonfor, it transpires that the LS5 speaker cable is readily available, whilst the LS25 is on it's way. So no panic..:carrot:

Interesting.

I'm trying the website which I understand is the current one for you Colin at https://www.elsdonwonforaudio.com/ but it simply goes to a parked domain. Maybe it is just a temporary issue?

Cheers

Ok thanks Colin - I will keep checking. Hopefully your host company will fix things soon.

I'm simply trying to find the prices for your highly regarded products.
