Truly amazed

Presumably they are sutable to be used as SPDIF cables??

Yes, they should be as they should have a 75 ohm impedance which is exactly what you'd need for S/PDIF

I had a feeling the internal construction would be different, audio cables don't need a specific impedance so it give free reign to experiment with multiple conductors etc, video doesn't unless you like dodgy pictures

I bought 10 of these video cables (to make 5 stereo pairs) and also a quantity of the type in the original post. Yikes - cable spaghetti!
I've made listening comparisons between the 2 types and both are good. I found the video cables to offer slightly less definition and detail overall than the audio cables. I also noticed that the bass went a smidge deeper, but was not quite as taught.

I'm very impressed indeed with the audio interconnects, though - the way they treat drums (and especially tom drums) is beyond my experience - I now have a renewed respect for Keith Moon & have listened to Live at Leeds countless times in the last week just to hear the maniac at work!

I'll be revealing more on my experiments with these cables later - I've also got myself some of the speaker cables from the same range.

Just out of interest Chris how long are the video cables? I mean't to ask this before but it slipped my mind (nothing unusual) I only ask as when i looked at the link you put up i didn't recall any mention of the actual length of them

They're either 1 or 1.2 metres (the latter, I think).

I am still "truly amazed" at these interconnects. A couple of nights ago I hooked the cables up to a valve amp I have here and was really impressed some more. This valve amp was now producing awesomely clean deep bass and throwing it well out from the speakers into the room in a holographic way. I have sat on the fence about valve amps for a very long time because I have always felt while a valve amp has many fine attributes that an SS amp will easily "out bass" a bottle amp by a fair margin with a real kick in the guts level of power and depth, but by gum boys I really have changed my tune after fettling this amp up with the Belden wires.

Chris, were you listening to Live at Leeds on vinyl or CD? I'm moved to dig out the relevant version and compare notes.

I am still amazed at the "major sound quality upgrade for less than a fiver" aspect of these cables

It was on CD. No special claims made about remastering just cheapo bog standard issue as far as I'm aware. There's also a track we listened to - I really can't remember who by or what, but there was a rhythm where a tom featured heavily & we could hear, not just the strike but you could clearly discern the different tone as the skin recovered from the initial whack - something I've never, ever heard so clearly before on any system.

Due to how subjective the topic of 'improvements' offered by various cables can be, I would not normally comment, but I must admit to buying a couple of pairs of these cables and have found the improvements gained in my system nothing short of amazing. I was VERY surprised. A much clearer presentation throughout and the bass is no longer flabby and boomy - it's taut and precise. Initially I was concerned that the cables had resulted in 'brighter' sound which was not to my taste at all. But even after just a couple of hours in getting used to the sound I have decided that IMO it is without doubt vastly improved.

Now you know why the title of this thread is called "TRULY AMAZED"!

When a former cable manufacturer (Krystal Kables) says these are MUST HAVE cables for a mere fiver, then bury your scepticisms in the sand and buy some
