    Bog standard cables made with what looks like red/black twisted pair cable you could buy in Woolworths forty years ago. Average looking plugs - so expect to be able to sell them on eBay for £500 the pair, by giving them a fancy name and say that not only were they constructed under the light of a full moon, but were blessed by the Dali Lama. That way the electrons flow more easily with the satisfaction of a job well done.

    RS 50 strand twisted in a drill? In the mid to late 70's, t'was about as good as you could get, although RS did a 56 strand we went over to.

    Crying out at the top of my voice; Tell me now if you can hear me

    I love Hendrix for so many reasons. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist - he played damn well any kind of guitar he wanted. In fact I'm not sure if he even played the guitar - he played music. - Stevie Ray Vaughan

    Yep, ancient 56 strand as recommended by Naim and Linn back in the 80's, twisted by a drill as Dave says. I used to do a 'star quad' version for the afficianados..

    A month ago I came home to find that the wire on our washing line had been stolen. It was black and orange, suspiciously like that cable. I have reported the matter to the police and you can expect a knock on the door any day now.
