    “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!”

    I went from the richer sound cable to chord rumour a few years back and the difference was night an day.huge improvement! iv recently bought some qed signature revelation and the improvements are more subtle. I've never paid more than 35 quid on eBay for any of the pairs of cables(terminated) either so worth the punt when bargains like that come up. I'm sure theres some van damme in the classifieds as we speak although not sure which type?

    Bigman, just seen your kind offer of a demo, but not local to you!

    It's great to hear your experience has been positive, and you're right that the price means taking a punt on it is not much of a risk

    That's a shame mate, as i said a demo would have been provided with pleasure. I like mine very much but i will try the VD blue when funds allow just to see if i can hear a difference.

    Copper pipe! Ahahahaha, good one.

    On the DIY front I recall reading lots of people claimed good results from an esoteric braided design made from cat5 (or 6 if you're feeling flush), called canare star, or something. But I don't have the time or energy to go bespoke with heatshrink and all that kerfuffle.
