Tanks for the cables
I am really surprised by how god they sound
It is like a thick curtain has been taken of the front of the speakers
They are really good
Glad you're happy!!

Oliver, I take it you made these up yourself(?). If you don't mind a quick question: being a twisted pair, how did you deal with the shield? Did you solder to ground at both ends? Or only one end? If so, which end -- source or target? Reason for the question is that I've made up a few ICs using a Belden cable with similar characteristics (8402), and have grounded the shield only at one end, the source end, and left the other unterminated. Curious to know how yours are built?
Thanks,
Svend
Hi Svend,
Sandro requested they be wired as shown in the picture
Cheers
Oliver.
