    The last Nordost cable I tried (El Dorado power cable) sounded crap and cost a mint. That was my first and last dabble with Nordost.

    I need a period of rest, Mike (otherwise known as rallying my resources). Ruth and I have just paid for a superb holiday next year, so I'm not feeling flush.

    However, I may ask to loan a 2m TQ power cable at some point, to feed the P10 and therefore the whole system. That's the most critical cable I use, currently a Russ Andrews/Kimber Signature. I just have this feeling that if I borrow it they won't be getting it back.

    LOL - that may be so, but never forget that men are from Mars!

    Nice one on the holiday, Martin. Sounds fab!

    However, before splashing out on new mains leads, you really need to have a listen to my 'Ultimates'. Trust me, they take some beating, and cost rather less than the Tellurium...

    Perhaps, like you say, you could get a loaner and, when I come down, we can do a mains cable comparison? That way, I also get to hear the Tellurium

    On the subject of me coming down, now that we're into May, we need to arrange a date, so are you free over the next couple of weekends?

    Marco.
