They are decent cables Martin. I heard nothing wrong with these when I had a set. They just get on and do the job.

It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

It interests me, though, that of 4 sets of speaker cables each present the sound quite differently. Or at least differently enough to be obvious in the differences. It really shouldn't happen. I'd prefer it didn't. I've swapped speaker cable and heard no difference before. But that was in previous lash-ups that were 'lower end' than what I have now. The only time I have heard differences before was when there was an amp/speaker mis-match, i.e the amp was not comfortable driving the speakers. But that is not the case here so I just don't know.

It's true that the more revealing the system, the more the effect of minor changes like swapping cables can be discerned. Interconnect and speaker cable swaps have a very audible influence in my setup.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

It gives good bass, not so convinced about the other end. Nowt obviously wrong with it but I've heard better. I am being fussy. It is the best cd player I've owned apart from maybe the Technics broadcast. It's quite similar to that in fact.
Not sure where this and the 555 fit in, was the 555 earlier or later than the 505?

it would appear from a quick google the 555 is 91-92 and yours is from 93-94.
visually they look the same to me.

Far from it. Identical other than a development of the laser mechanism and change of layout inside.
