    That is very interesting Frank.....I might just get one in to try...

    you have got your system Frank at a great price and for my eyes.
    you have a very good looking system,the cd player is tank like build and the amp looks so lush.

    My favourite interconnects for a long time have been the Lessloss "Anchorwave" which are another awesome sounding cable that nobody has heard of The SLIC Eclipse easily beats those.
    Have you? News to me!

    Could be dog poo for all I know, but there is no smell to it

    By the same token, I don't go charging into the kitchen demanding the chef tells me exactly how the superb meal I have just eaten was made either.

    I like it......

    Frank can you give me some idea what other interconnects you tried this SLIC Eclipse against?

    Thanks so much

    Thank you for the generous estimates of my system's value Bev, because the actual value is a lot less than your thumbnail sketching Speakers = £100, Amp = £125, CD player around £250, speaker cable = £90

    I am then asking you to accept my word alone that my truly humble system sounds like a £3k+ one, JUST by the addition of this cable. I took it all to a bakeoff last weekend and it saw off a system costing considerably more with some famous names on the fronts. I seem to recall in my previous tome about this cable that I would equate going from a £1k amp to a £3k amp because the amp hierarchy has to contend with the laws of diminishing returns, but I don't see this cable being saddled with that problem. It is what it is and rather than read the garbage I may write about it, you should ask Mr MRCU if you can have a play with one too.
    So if it all works in proportion, this cable makes your £125 amp sound like a £375 one

    Excellent, and all for only £490
