    Canare star-quad cable is not bad at all.

    Thanks for the inference that my system is in sufficiently revealing - I don't know where that came from. As it happens, I don't use NacA5 or Naim interconnects to my power amps. My system satisfies me and has no difficulty in revealing the differences between cables, connectors etc. (very clearly).

    Presumably you think I am having a backhanded 'pop' at you with respect to your recent mains cable thread; but I'm not, my 'can't get excited about mains cables' comment was a specific response to Dave's statement that mains cables were the 'hot topic'. Cables, in general, are not a hugely 'hot topic' with myself - other areas of hi-fi excite me personally more (although, ironically, I've probably had more PM's, on various forums, regarding cables than any other subject).

    I sometimes wish I could just sit and listen to my system without the endless cable swaps and people phoning me every day for advice on which is the best this and which is the best that, it must be so nice to not have to get involved with all that and just enjoy the music, respect due chief.

    Jeez, this must be the night for people being touchy! See the 'Who has What?' thread here: http://theartofsound.net/forum/showt...761#post366761

    No, Mark, I wasn't having a pop at your system not being sufficiently revealing, and certainly not in retaliation at your supposed pop at me in my mains cable thread, which I hadn't even considered existed until now.

    Apologies if it came across that way.

    Marco.
