    Brian,

    If you want to try the KLE equipped cable, just give me a shout.
    It is sat in the spares box (which seems to be growing!).

    Thanks Kevin , I'll give them a miss mate . They would have to be substantially better to justify the extra outlay . How are you getting on with the Switchcraft RCA plugs ?
    You have email mate .

    Hi Ken, as you seem to be keen on trying things, I have a suggestion. Will not be surprised if the Lo-Cap Silver walks it but might be worth a comparison.

    I found some standard satellite cable has the same low capacitance of the Low-Cap at 55pF per meter. Conductors are copper so it would be a Copper/Silver shoot out, but with the same capacitance

    I'd try it myself but I don't have any Silver Lo-Cap. I can send you the satellite cable if you need it.

    Alan - I've tried shotgun satalight cable in the past and wasn't impressed, I may even still have the leads somewhere.
    Tried it in the cross connection method as well - centre of one to the shield of the other etc.

    Not sure I want to buy the MS Audio connectors (at least 8 needed) as I am not a believer in connectors making much difference, having said that, if anyone is going to bring some MC5000 leads with these fitted, to the next NEBO meet I will give them a go.

    Fair enough, although that's quite contrary to my experience, and over the years I've experimented quite a bit with a number of them. However, I'll defo bring my MC5000s with me to the next NEBO and we can do some comparisons

    OK Ken, not sure how you cross connected, the cable I have is just standard coax construction with inner and screen.

    I will build some up, need to get some plugs, then the only I/Cs I can compare to are some MC5000 with silver plugs that I have on loan.

    Hi I picked up a 1m pair of this cable yesterday made up with Neutrik XLR connectors from a local pro studio company to connect between my pre/power, sounded bloody awful for the 1st few hours and then sounded good, today sounded crap again and then after a few hours started to sound good again, does this cable burn in and improve with time? I've never experienced this before, also how does it compare to Mark Grant as an RCA.

    Thanks for advce

    I use it between my pre and mono blocks.
    Once it settles in, you will have no issues.

    Thanks for the advice Kevin, I've just realized that this is your own thread for selling the cables you make, sorry for posting here
