Received the latest batch of cable from Brian. Plumbed them in at lunch time and have put a couple of hours on them.....marvellous!
Thanks for the quick turnaround.

I am not much of a cable burn in believer but I did notice the IC did indeed settle down after a few days. Mighty impressed with new pair straight out the box. Hi fi is sounding the best it has. Real improvement for very reasonable outlay.

I have to admit, after a few days my interconnects sound a lot better.I might change the cable to the MC5000 from the 110......I can vouch for that. Mine sounded great 'out of the box' but within three days they came on in leaps and bounds
