Thanks for the replies guys, as I mentioned , I already have a pair of their UPVC or whatever the model is ic's, but needed info on the silver series, which so far no one has heard/owned it seems.....
PS. As a non techie, what do the lo, flat, and hi cap markings refer to, on the link Mark added?

Ah....indeed they are the lo cap ones, so what difference does that make?

So the lo (west) cap ones are the ones to go for?

They should affect the signal the least.
Whether or not you like the sound you get is a different thing altogether

When I first started building my system I went with this stuff, it's ok for entry level gear but ultimately veiled and a bit nasty in the upper frequencies. Moving to Cardas phono wire was a huge upgrade. I'm now using silver which is a different beast altogether.

Well apart from the length and the RCA connectors, there doesn't seem to be much difference. But I assume you are referring to the cable itself.I wonder what the difference is between this stuff: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAN-DAMME-...item43c29b7f07
...and this stuff: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3808973538...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Suspect there is no difference at all; Van Damme have simply changed the description printed on the cable.
