Quite simply, I haven't heard any better cables anywhere, ever, - at any price! 'Giant-killing' gear offering the highest SPPV value is undoubtedly what it's at with hi-fi...

True and I've ordered some black mamba's as well, they too could be interesting.

I think you can take that as a given ;)

Somebody also recommended Maplins OFC copper as a link between external crossover and speaker terminals, which has to be a pee take.

Why not? Give it a go - remember, there are no 'absolutes'! ;)

:doh: okay, death by cable

Any of you guy's ever tried Hitachi 102 ssx LCOFC speaker cable' its rather good i bought it from Kevin scott of definitive audio nottingham, it was a big surprise for me.

He also sold me an interconnect made from standard copper with an outer braid and the worst cheap'n'nasty plugs you ever saw' and do you know what it sounded bloody good ' i asked him why the cheap plugs and he told me it gave a really good tight contact.

They were about £160 again i asked him why so much , and he said for every good one they made about 10 had to be thrown away' as a real bitch to solder those cheap plugs.

His current one's use neutric plugs, i am sure that Guy knows Kevin so he may be familiar with these cables .

I've recommended Maplin's 50 strand in red and black for re-wiring the insides of old Speakers like mine which came with 17 strand (less than) bell wire. What was good enough for Epos ES14's is ok for me (the wires look to be the same make, but someone will come along and tell me I'm mistaken no doubt :))
