Oh OK then
A while back I deal a swap deal for some Furutech mains cable for an interconnect called the "Ultimate Cable" which is purported to have the purest silver and all the ultimate materials within, but I couldn't tell you what the original purchase price was. The intrinsic value of my swap deal was over £80 so even that has made the Belkin cable a good deal for me as I hope to sell on the fancy pants one
Just looked on the UC website and the prices have been slashed dramatically since I last looked
Well mine turned up today and I'm very pleased with them so I just ordered 3 more sets.

hi all,
after reading this thread with interest i decided to purchase a few of these leads to evaluate and disect if nescesary to see how good or bad they are in my own system, i started off by using one pair from my power amps to my preamp, and one pair from CD player to preamp, well,,,i must say what i experienced was' as others have found very intersting! they do seem to produce an even balanced sonic presentation and as such produce a musical experience that is comfortable to listen to without reducing musical detail etc, the only real criticism i have from my short period of listening was that over all impact may be reduced but as stated that is my initial findings and a longer period of listening may prove that criticism to be misplaced.
anyway, i decide to disect one to find out their construction and to get an understaning of how it does what it does etc, well, i must say i am impressed at the effort that has gone into its design, first thing you hit when you cut through the outer casing is a quite sparse copper screen which on its own i feel would be of little use as far as over-all screening duties are concerned, the next layer is a foil screen [much better] then you come to the intersting bit, the cable is of a balanced design, ie; using to cables of the same size etc for signal send and return, next is a bit of a shock to be honest, when you strip back each inner conductor insulation you find that each strand configuration is individualy insulated! but thats not it, the strands are of a diffrent construction, some are solid cores, some are of a twisted stranded type!
needless to say, i have a lot of respect for the person or persons who came up with this design as they have clearly done their homework and have managed to produce a cable that [for the price] seems to cover most avenues as far as neutrality is concerned.

Well, based on what bodgee-boy's just written (lol), I've bought a couple of pairs (before the bloody price goes up! ), and when they arrive I'll compare them to my Mark Grants (and Barry's D.I.Y cables he has loaned me) to see what all the fuss is about......
Look out for a full review soon!

P.S It would be interesting hearing what effect fitting better quality phono plugs to the undoubtedly excellent cable would make, as I suspect this is where the main costs have been cut.
