    Looks good Peter. Speakers are rather close together though.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    hi i no about the speakers it was just getting set up , i need to get longer cable ,but not sure what to buy , i have chord epic at 1.5m and chord signiture 1m so i need to get some thing at 3m each , but at a price that will not break the bank , as speaker cable you seem to flip a coin on the price and the flavour of the month,the cables i have are both used and cost a fraction of the new cost,all the money has gone on quality i.hope gear , peter

    Van Damme speaker cable is well liked and not too costly. Many members here use it happily. They make good interconnect cable too.

    No worries, mate. Remember that many of these branded, so-called 'high-end' cables are constructed from the raw materials of professional companies, such as Van Damme, Mogami, Belden, etc, simply covered by a posh outer sheathing with a 'fancy' name on it and a suitably high mark up!

    The blue Van Damme studio cable linked to is 'no nonsense' stuff, which simply does the biz at a realistic price.
