Truly amazed

[Ali Tait]

Try it in both places, going back to the original cables. See what, if any, difference there is.

Alex,
I deliberately only added one pair at a time, starting at the source end & working my way through the system. At every stage things got better.

Is this 13 pages all about a £5 pair of interconnects guys? Wow.

[Ali Tait]

I have to say, they do sound pretty good, and they were only that price as they were outdated stock.

I did get a set myself and plugged them in then had to take them back out whilst I moved things around and not listened since as I am in vinyl mode at the moment.

Precisely. You'll never get a 13 pages worth of discussion about a pair of cables that retail for £5000. Why? Because no one gives a shit about those overhyped, overpriced wires.

Too right it is all about a £5 pair of cables David, that's why the thread title is . . . . . . . "Truly amazed"

If they were £100 there would be nowt to shout about

If they were £250 we would say "Are they worth £250?"

If they were £500+ someone would be yelling "Snake oil alert!!!"

Hmmm, just tried it from the variable Caiman outs straight into the power amp. Couldn't hear any noticeable difference (???)

After that, tried from the fixed Caiman outs into the pre amp, and after level matching, fancied hearing just a tiny bit better bass. But definitely not blown away.

I must say I'm confused. I was expecting to be blown away by these interconnects. In both cases, I had to really strain to try and squeeze some differences, but in reality I wasn't hearing them.

I am usually very sensitive to any differences in sound (my friends sometimes even make fun of me for claiming to hear tiny differences between components), and most of the time the changes I make to my configuration are a reason for celebration. No cigar this time

I'll have to wait until I get the second pair of these cables before I make my final verdict on them.

Edit: some claim that these cables need 20 hours burn in time. I'll give them the world...

I think you may be missing the point here Alex
Interconnects shouldn’t and in my experience don’t give “blow you away” sonic differences.
The point about these interconnects is the performance they give at the price.
Nobody has written that these are the best interconnects you can buy and nobody has written anything about astounding improvements in sound.
How much did you pay for the interconnects you’re replacing with these?
