Greg (G-point) lent me a pair of these cables to have a go with.

They are very well made, albeit slightly unusual compared to any other cables I've handled. The positive and negative are independant of each other and only attached together at each end with a metal "badge". They are covered with an anti-tangle braided sheath. The plugs are silver WBTs and the overall finish is a lot better than some other cables I've seen at this price range.

So how do they sound?

They are pure silver cables, but not 'QED' quality. They are detailed, but they didn't have me clutching my ears in agony, rather, they were very insightful, neutral sounding and ever so slightly lush. They had a unique kind of delicacy to their presentation that would suit genres like jazz.

I think a lot of what you make of them depends on what you listen to and the "sound" of different metals, I think I'm more of a copper guy at heart.

I was surprised at how much sound you get for the money tbh, they kept up pretty well with my TQ ultra blacks. The main thing I found missing was the presence of bass and ultimate insight that the UBs offer. All things considered, these are great cables, especially for the money.

Thanks Greg, I'll get them back to you shortly.

Price per metre?

By the way, do you mean monolith?

Yes I do mean monolith :lol:

Greg correct me if I'm wrong but I think they're about £700 for a 2.5m set. This is high quality silver. BTW Greg I'll get them posted back to you tomorrow mate.
