:) Hello everyone :)
Simon, thanks very much for your opinion on my cables, I appreciate that and I’m very happy to hear that you like them. I decided however to keep some secret in regards how are they made.

I have tried in my system almost everything what is available on the market. From cables for 50 euro to 4500 euro per meter. Of course I found a few which I could have connected to my system for good, but the price …… it was just to much for two meters of cable and 4 plugs and I decided to make my own.

I can say they are hand made from solid core 7N copper covered with 50 micron 7N silver. At the moment I have 5 differently sounding models, power cord and speakers cables.
I started my experiments with DIY cables about 4 years ago and I throw out kilometers of cables :( but… I finally found right material.

Anyway if anyone would like to give them try, you are very welcome. At the moment I have 1 set XLR and one set single ended RCA exactly same construction and from this same material as the ones described in Simon’s review.
I have as well two sets, of XLR and RCA my “BASIC” interconnects (different material and different plugs) and I like to give them to be tried as well.

I would be very happy to answer any queries and I would like to hear your opinion about them as well.

Hey Darek,

I'd love to try the RCA to see what it sounds like between my phono amp and my amp :)

They are a real component of any system and as such should be given some thought.
That would be my take on cables also.We all can't be daft,can we?
Anyway after Simon's glowing review of the interconnents i was really looking forward to having a listen.
From the second I pressed play it was like Wow!! the sound coming from my speakers was just stunning.My system was sound pretty good beforehand, but this was a massive jump up in sound quality.Everything just sounded more real, more open and alive.
Then a tried my problem recordings,harshness was gone and i could enjoy the listen.
It just sounds like i've had a serious upgrade to my system.
These are top notch cables for a great price.
After a couple of days still listening with a big smile, i thought shit i better find out the price of these cables before i get to carried away,so when Darek told me the price,what a relief!! the cheapest and biggest upgrade i could of asked for..
Give these a try,I would think most people here will agree,these are amazing value for what they do...

Dermot,I'll leave Darek tell you that,makes it more interesting when people don't know the price,then you don't know what you are comparing the cables with,you just have to listen...
Seriously good cables and really well made..
