Hi All!
Anyone had experience with these:

I am looking for something non-fatiguing (i currently have Ushers and i can say they are too fatiguing for me, even though i have tried many sources and amps)
This Belden screened mains cable looks decent:

I may try a few metres.
At £15 a metre! :eek:
It's good stuff, but I now generally prefer using thick gauge solid-core cable for mains leads. Makes sense, as that's what's in the wall already (with twin & earth), and plus it sounds better, to my ears, than multi-strand, except in low-current applications, such as with CDPs and small PSUs :)Quote:

It can be a PITA to solder/work with, but after that, I just find that the finished solid-core mains leads bend into whatever shape you want them (kind of like heavy-duty wire wool), so I don't find their stiffness a problem.
Better stiff than floppy, I say (and Tabatha agrees)! :eyebrows:

Not referring to the workability i am referring to the factors such as you need a lot of space behind equipment, you cannot use short runs etc..No excess leads on my gear they have all be tailored for neatness, it's not possible with a stiffy :eyebrows:
Hehehe... No worries.
I can use short runs because the dedicated mains for the hi-fi is directly behind my system (no more than 1m away from the kit), which has plenty of space behind it, so I can arrange everything neatly. Therefore, 'stiffies' aren't a problem. Mine have nice thick 'bell-ends' (plugs) on them, too! :D

i hope you give em a good polish on a regular basis :eyebrows:
Yesh, they get buffed to a shine with a big wire brush... Oi loikes pain! :eek: :eyebrows:
