Hand-Crafted from start to finish, Jaw dropping! Performance simply begs belief at what cable can do.Be totally blown away and bring a smile to your face for years to come as understanding grows you will be amazed! And never look at wire the same way again.Quote:

To be fair there's a lot more goes into making these than meets the eye. When I went to shrink wrap college, I only got 2 years into the six year course and had to drop out as it was too gruelling. And that isn't just any old clingfilm either, it's Saran wrap!Quote:

Jeez - they look awful (Saran wrap or not)!
Are they worth the money? Well a lot of work goes into them, and the conductors are claimed to be 7N silver. Most commercially available silver wire is only 3N (or 4N at best), so refining it to 7N purity will be expensive. Cold welding the conductors to the connectors make sense, but to do the job properly you have to have the correctly sized crimping tools, otherwise the crimp will not be reliable and will fail with time. Platinum plating the connecting surfaces make sense from a cosmetic point of view, but is of doubtful advantage electrically.
What is this obsession with the mechanical damping of cables? All cables are soft, flexible and compliant, not stiff and rigid; so how are these vibrations transmitted?
But as I said they look awful and I wouldn't pay £15 for one, let alone £15,000, no matter how good they sound. Are those testimonials genuine?
Nice looking Quad 306 power amplifier. Listing ends later today and the bidding is up to £156 so far. Good sounding amps!

Was a bit of a bidding war on this Quad 34 pre-amp. It sold for £261, a sight more than I'd pay, even for a tidy late one like this.

A 34 paired with a 306 ended at £340 plus postage just a wee while earlier [emoji6]Quote:

Answers on a postcard !
Collectible ? Bit of overpriced junk that’s been hanging around at that price for a while. It’s certainly mono era, not even sure that’s a proper 301.
The work required to get an acceptable sound from that would be considerable. Of course there is a ‘collector’ mindset that might be interested but ... nine grand ?
Thanks Tom , I will have to look in my attic for some old shyte;)
:) ok I admit old shite is overdoing it .. but nine grand? This might make an interesting restoration project but it's not worth nine grand.Quote:

Nice. It's an early SL 15E actually, not just an SL 15. Sounds very similar to the SPUE.
I have couple of them, as well as a Mk. II. Used to have the 2-15K transformer as well, but sold it to Tom (I preferred using the Nakamichi MCB 100, but that was a matter of personal choice).
Yes, very similar to the SPU-GE. :)
