I'm tony.
Let me get a few hours on them then we can have a wee listen!!
Oliver,
It seems you have found a really good combination of cable and plugs.
With hundreds of choices out there, all I can say is well done.
Out of interest, where did you get the direction markers?

I'm Stephen.
The running in of the Spotfire continues, accelerated with a Tellurium Q system disc. It has a 60 minute system and cable burn in track. The quality I have noticed so far with this cable is the sheer width of the soundstage. It can present sounds way to the left and right of speaker boundaries.
