Just received my second set and more improvements have been gained.
I dare not tell you the cost of the interconnect it has just replaced :eek:

Oh OK then :lol:
A while back I deal a swap deal for some Furutech mains cable for an interconnect called the "Ultimate Cable" which is purported to have the purest silver and all the ultimate materials within, but I couldn't tell you what the original purchase price was. The intrinsic value of my swap deal was over £80 so even that has made the Belkin cable a good deal for me as I hope to sell on the fancy pants one :eyebrows:
Just looked on the UC website and the prices have been slashed dramatically since I last looked :(
Well mine turned up today and I'm very pleased with them so I just ordered 3 more sets.
Wish mine would.We've had no post all week.
Mine arrived yesterday along with some other kit :) I couldn't work out what the hell this parcel was until i got the outer wrapping off :scratch:
Dirty great big boxes inside of a thick clear plastic presentation type case :eyebrows: Someone is making a loss somewhere & it's not me ;)
They do look very nice indeed for the money, can't lose in reality :cool:
Hope your turn up soon Ali, fingers crossed for no more snow your way ;) Naff all to speak of here...
Just grabbed myself 4 sets as well.
hi all,
after reading this thread with interest i decided to purchase a few of these leads to evaluate and disect if nescesary to see how good or bad they are in my own system, i started off by using one pair from my power amps to my preamp, and one pair from CD player to preamp, well,,,i must say what i experienced was' as others have found very intersting! they do seem to produce an even balanced sonic presentation and as such produce a musical experience that is comfortable to listen to without reducing musical detail etc, the only real criticism i have from my short period of listening was that over all impact may be reduced but as stated that is my initial findings and a longer period of listening may prove that criticism to be misplaced.
anyway, i decide to disect one to find out their construction and to get an understaning of how it does what it does etc, well, i must say i am impressed at the effort that has gone into its design, first thing you hit when you cut through the outer casing is a quite sparse copper screen which on its own i feel would be of little use as far as over-all screening duties are concerned, the next layer is a foil screen [much better] then you come to the intersting bit, the cable is of a balanced design, ie; using to cables of the same size etc for signal send and return, next is a bit of a shock to be honest, when you strip back each inner conductor insulation you find that each strand configuration is individualy insulated! but thats not it, the strands are of a diffrent construction, some are solid cores, some are of a twisted stranded type!
needless to say, i have a lot of respect for the person or persons who came up with this design as they have clearly done their homework and have managed to produce a cable that [for the price] seems to cover most avenues as far as neutrality is concerned.

Well, based on what bodgee-boy's just written (lol), I've bought a couple of pairs (before the bloody price goes up! ;)), and when they arrive I'll compare them to my Mark Grants (and Barry's D.I.Y cables he has loaned me) to see what all the fuss is about......
Look out for a full review soon! :)
Marco.
P.S It would be interesting hearing what effect fitting better quality phono plugs to the undoubtedly excellent cable would make, as I suspect this is where the main costs have been cut.
