Could this be a 'giant-killing' tonearm cable?

Mine has got a thicker 'bulb' on the end for extra girth! It's the chunkier housing of the Eichmanns, ya knows... :bum:

You get the feeling that much of Yannis' output is custom and therefore slightly different. He's certainly open to whatever you want design-wise.

Indeed. I love dealing with small manufacturers like that, where you can tailor the design of products to your own requirements. My system is full of that kind of stuff. I really don't think I could ever go back to using mainstream manufacturers.

I think that Yannis has also learned quite a lot himself about connectors (their sonic influence on cables), and some other things, which he hadn't considered before! ;)

Marco.

i'm so impressed with Yannis that i've just comissioned him to produce me some balanced interconnects for my speakers. I have given him the mission goal that this new cable must piss over everything else he's ever designed. How's the poor bugger gonna top that :scratch:

We wait with baited breath

Got it! I'll be playing LPs tonight. Do NOT disturb me :)

Hehehehe... Can't wait to know what you think. Mine will be arriving soon, too. Enjoy, and spill the beans later! :eyebrows:

Come and disturb me on Tuesday !

Quick impressions: my 423.5 is doing that height thing again, first noticed by Marco and myself with the Joan Armatrading s/t album when we tried his 423.5 on my system. Bigger soundstage, more focus, extreme fine detail in the mix bringing forward light cymbal work and other tiny cues. I get the feeling the Yannis cable and re-plugged TQ Phono are working in good harmony, especially as they use WBTs all round.

The top end is a little excitable but I recognise that as 'new cable sound' and will start putting some serious hours on it where I know it will just improve.

Right, back to the music (a stiff test: can it make ELP's Welcome Back my Friends... sound good? It sure does!) "Clear the battlefield and let me see,
all the profit from our victory"...
