Yup, ok - no worries :)
Andy, you make a very good point, and this is something I'll be dealing with as soon as Jason answers the question I asked him.

I have both Sound Cords and SSP's. Both seem thankfully free of colouration. In the spirit of equality I also own an equal number of Mark Grant cables, lowest in range and HD1000 they too a very open.
SSP have a very inflexible cable that takes some getting used to to handle. I unfortunately got the minimum length to connect between two boxes without realising how inflexible they were. I can see why some may have strained the cable plug interface when tightly located but with patience and care they are fine.
The anti NVA RD spirit afoot in AoS is regrettable
And of course there is no anti-AoS spirit afoot on HFS?? Get real, Alan! Unfortunately, as the old saying goes: 'you reap what you sow'...Quote:

Possibly caused by the actions (certainly in my case) of a certain individual ?Quote:

Indeed, and it should be noted that when Barry realised his error and made a sincere apology, like the true gentleman that he is, it was treated with derision and venom by the hyaenas there.Quote:

Hi Marco,
no, the history of that cable is this: I was being mocked by a friend at work for being an audiophool to believe that cables make a difference, so I challenged him to buy a top interconnect (obviously I recommended SSP as I know that cable well) to see if he could tell the difference in his system. I told him I'd take it off his hands if he really couldn't hear anything (and he had a suitable forfeit if he could hear the difference). He couldn't hear any difference.
Anyway, that's how I ended up with the cable. I have never bought SSP from Richard with the Pro-fi option as my cable was bought ages ago before he had that option. And having personal experience with them breaking I told my friend to buy the Pro-fi version.
The matching cable is not broken, and out of interest here's some photos of a much better construction job. In particular look how the strain relief in the last photo is tight around the cable and doing its job. That I suspect this is the crux of whether these things will break or not.

Quite so. I think that some people need to take their blinkers off and 'smell the coffee'! Barry's magnanimous gesture should've instead been recognised and appreciated. However, it shows the character of the people you're dealing with.Quote:

TBH Alan, since I got up this morning I'm feeling more of an anti-Figlet spirit afoot here.Quote:

The question that should be asked is why is it ALWAYS the other person's fault when RD falls out with someone, and NEVER his?? It's always the other person who is the bad guy! :mental:
The fact is, all the folk he's fallen out with over the years can't ALWAYS have been in the wrong............!!
Quite simply, RD has a unique propensity to fall out with people (mostly in a rather spectacular way), and the list of those he's fallen out with is a very long one indeed, therefore regardless of any faults his 'enemies' may or may not have, the statistics ably prove that that is not the main problem: it is HIM (and his disgraceful attitude towards people he takes an [often irrational] dislike to). I've never known anyone like him who continually thrives on conflict... :doh:
I live in hope that one day before RD pops his clogs, he'll take a long hard look in the mirror and have the gumption to acknowledge and embrace the reality of why he's made so many enemies, ready to stick the boot into him for his past 'transgressions', whenever a suitable opportunity presents itself, and made so few real friends, throughout his miserable life.
Anyway, must dash... Laters!
