There's a pair of my latest with Marco ATM, awaiting a second opinion, so stay tuned!Originally Posted by Covenant
I'm half hoping he says "they're shite" though... they're an absolute ball ache to put together. About half a days work!

Note to Dave and others:
DONT try this cable unless you are willing to buy it because you will not want to return it believe me.

Hi Jerry,
You're full of buulshit you areyou don't want to pass them on and if you can reduce the demand for them, Mike might let you have 'em for a lower price !!
No bloody chance - I'm too old a bird to be caught with chaff!!. We're all supposed to be chums on here, so play the game and share the joy or I'll have a word with my friends at BG and remind them about something significant that they might have left out of their quote
Enjoy them whilst you have them, but not too long
Cheers,
DaveK.

Currently playing with Mike's analogue interconnects...
I had a quick listen last night and initial impressions are good. Instrumental detail and voices are given nice 'texture', rhythms flow seamlessly, and the top end is sweet and completely grain-free, if a little recessed and lacking in leading edge definition, compared to my reference Mark Grant cables.
There is also definite 'correct' directionality, that I have identified, but which I will allow others when trying the cable to determine...
I'll let the cables burn-in over the course of the week, trying them with different types of music, and report back later

Please humour me with this question - Have you ever measured standard phono plugs for capacitance? On audio cables with ss equipment and their lowish impedance characteristics compared to valve gear, I found this made as much if not more difference than the wires themselves. Not able to do the maths, i'm not sure of this was just imagination or something genuinely important?
