New Mark Grant G1000HD Precision cables

I've taken delivery of these cables and have been assessing and comparing them for the last few days to Mark's standard £20 Canares. The G1000HDs are shown here:

And here:

These new cables of Mark's are absolutely stunning (in the right system) and, IMO, set a new benchmark for what is capable with high quality copper-based cables...... The G1000HDs, quite simply, offer truly outstanding value for money!

Look out for a full review soon in S.O.G

Marco.
