    I have just ordered the MS Audio plugs and a suitable length of cable to complete the wiring of my system with the MC5000.
    I still prefer the minor increase in detail of the FURUTECH FA-220, but at €42/m the Klotz wins the battle by coming in at a relatively cheap €2.80/m

    I'm looking forwards to finishing the cabling off, which will probably be my last HiFi purchase of 2015.
    As much as I would love a new pair of speakers, the speaker upgrade fund is going to have to be spent elsewhere.

    Default VFM/SPPV studio cables test

    On the topic of SPPV cables I recently started using XLR again and got out my trusty Mark Grant Canare Star Quad / Neutrik interconnects - does anyone think there is something better for the money? In any case XLR cables have far less "sound signature" than RCA.

    I used the MC5000 for this. It's ideal for the job.

    So is the Star Quad? Both look "ideal" to me and far less faff with XLR sonic differences.

    Star quad has an extra conductor?
    MC5000 you use both conductors and the screen.

    Having received the connectors yesterday, tables are all finished and installed.
    It's a satisfying experience listening to the music having built all my own cables. I have saved a fair chunk of cash and the system sounds great too.

    I think I may have to try a speaker kit next.
