    Perfect. That's how I would define the AC110. It's very refined particularly in the treble where I find it second to none in refinement but it's definitely lightweight in overall tone. Can't wait to try the MC5000 and will give my detailed feedback on this thread.

    Ok so I have received the cable and tried it for a few days. First it's critical to say that such a cable is completely system dependent. What works for one system might not work for another one. Also it depends on the listeners preferences. It happens that in my system I have another cable that works better, the Belkin pure AV (also on the AoS list) works a bit better but I would say that it's a lesser performing cable that the Klotz. It's just synergy.

    The Klotz sounds very open, transparent, very coherent from top to bottom. It has some similarities to the Linn Black but more of everything but also the key characteristic is that is VERY musical. It really sings. It's hard to tell why but there's something appealing about this cable. It's quite close to the Linn in sonic terms (but more extended and refined) but it's much better musically.

    Now I have a very transparent system. On a less transparent one, the differences between all these cables mentioned might not even be noticeable.

    So I recommend this cable as long as the basics in your system are in place. It cannot be used as a tone control as it has very little character on its own except being very musical. It's quite flat really, but has substance (not thin but not really euphonic or warm either) The Belkin tends to slightly make the sound darker which works better for my system and my tastes.

    The Klotz MC5000 definitely deserves its reputation.

    Forgot to add that compared to AC110, the MC5000 is clearly better

    Hi Khoi , many thanks for the feedback . The MC5000 interconnects tend to come on song after around 50 hours or so . It's worth persevering with them if you can .
    The MC5000s have been used with success on all sorts of systems and all the feedback received has been positive

    You're right I didn't go to 50 hours for sure, I should put it back and let it play more, will report back!

    Hi Brian.
    Are you still supplying the Klutz MC5000 cables, if so would you be able to supply me a set to Jersey?
    Thanks
