    Thanks for the suggestiions, I always thought the Talk 3 was a budget cable but it seems quite well liked. I think I need go give this some more thought.

    John - please don't let the Talk 3's lack of 'audiophool pricing' put you off. It's superb cable and I've absolutely no desire whatsoever to get rid of mine.

    Thanks Richard, I think I just got the upgrade bug after changing a pair of interconnects. The Talk 3 has been in the system for 10+ yrs, maybe I should leave well alone and buy some music

    I moved from the old Talk 3 to Chord Odyssey 2 at great expense.

    Made absolutley no difference whatsoever.

    If it's working why mess with it?

    For me it just gave the music more dynamics and drive over the Black Rhodium at least. It sounded a bit 2 dimensional in comparison. Van Damme is good too but I still felt I was getting more with the Talk 3.

    I'll probably retry them all again with the Ditton 44s I just bought off Martin (Macca) to see which works best with them. They're all cheap enough to be able to make up a set of each for testing.

    That's the very best thing you can do John - I bought the new Talk 3 from Paul at RFC and have been enjoying buying extra vinyl as a result of not spending silly money ...

    Yep, the Talk 3.1 is a superb cable at the price - if you fancy an upgrade from the old Talk 3 at a sensible price I can think of nothing better.

    I much preferred it to TQ Black and Black Rhodium Twist.

    Jerry - 'Talk 3' is the newer cable (ie the stuff available now) from Talk Electronics. Talk 3.1 is the old stuff made by the former Cable Talk company, just to clear up any confusion.
