Been looking for one myself Alan for a little project. I did not want to spend a fortune on a Furatech or similar in case the project stalled or I did not like it, so I ended up buying one of these cheap jobbies.

It arrived yesterday and I have to say that its actually much better quality than I had anticipated and if my project takes off and I do end up with a good quality cable then this one at this price can just sit in the drawer as a "spare"

Yep...that looks the part...I may get one of these...I've been looking at this cable too....I've just snipped the horrible cheap crappy plastic rca ends off of the stock lead and put some neutriks on...seems a lot more musical...but it's just not quite Carling...

how does it perform..

Dunno yet as its an ongoing project and until I get access to a pillar drill to drill the new armboard I cannot fit the arm or cable.

Will let you know but at £30 I just took a punt
