Just bought a 2m stereo pair of Mark Grant VDC loudspeaker cables from Shane here on AOS and got them today. Couldn't bloody wait to try them out so connected up and switched on. CD was Shpongle, Museum of Consciousness, and the inital 30 seconds or so was pretty good but then the sound just completely broke up into distortion. Switched off, put my original NVA LS5's back on and everything is brill again. Now I know from experience that some amplifiers and cables just do not mix so this may be one of those cases. This is in no way reflective of Shane. He sold me these cables and I willingly bought them. Shame they are not compatible.
