    I'm sure the devout will say my equipment isn't good enough to exploit the better cables or it's my hearing or something similar.

    I won't convince them and until I do actually hear a difference they won't convince me either lol

    Yes I'm no longer sure changing cables makes much difference.

    Last year I accidentally touched a live while changing an extractor fan (not nice). A few weeks later I got a belt while changing a light fitting. And you know what? I noticed NO DIFFERENCE. Came as a bit of a shock.

    They really are very good.

    They are made by W&M, a well established Dutch company. Very well made. I also have a pair of balanced interconnects made by them which could be used to tow quite a large ocean going liner!
    Or some rather large MBL speakers.

    Sorry, you did say interconnects. I haven't woken up yet.

    Surely you mean Van Damme Blue?
