    Default Cambridge Audio Symphony 400 speaker cable

    Since putting RS3s back in my system and having a bit of a rejig I was looking for a bit of stopgap speaker cable. Whilst also picking up a pair of AKG headphones for my sister's birthday I took a punt on some of this stuff from Richer Sounds.

    Didnt expect very much for £2.79 a metre and terminated with some simple banana plugs I had but was pleasantly surprised after plugging it in this afternoon, leaving the system playing at a low volume then listening for an hour or so. The bass has good depth, sounds quite natural with a bit of whallop to it. Yeah I can live with this for a while until the upgrade bug bites again.

    For a cheap stopgap cable or a good starter system its a decent buy. I think I'll pick up some more of it for my modded missions/t amp system.

    More orange than pink I'd say.
