    Hi Dave but a lot less expensive than Bling cables we have designed and have been botched by marketing. Me thinks. And a real sod to make and get the right material mix, it is not ring mains cable after all.
    About time you tried it maybe??

    The correct gage of wire and the thickness of the PTFE on it, and the chemical constitution of the metal in alloy in the wire, getting a 5% Uranium was hard work, and the insulation had to be black so the light would not spoil the enjoyment of music. (not fairy lights)

    The wire alloy and PTFE was a problem.

    Oh and before you ask the Alloy I like is with Iridium.

    reminds me of the phrase that Sarah Sanders told reporters: "how dare you question a 4 star general..."

    The reason Colin is vague with his reply is that he's been shafted by so many people over the years, it's no wonder he doesn't want to reveal the component parts.

    In this day and age where so many people's ideas are ripped off and cloned I'm surprised any designer or manufacturer reveals anything.

    Don't take it personally

    Just buy some and try it, don't think you'd regret it
