Should I bother with this , no doubt the extra money will be good for  charity.

Dave Sir - will you twist some ears please ?;)

Hmmmm, do they have the results? I would think they'd be cautious simply because they'd like a "favourable" review (so they'd need to know the outcome first)?

Have a try with audioholics ( http://www.audioholics.com/techtips/audioprinciples/cables.htm ). They're not a paper magazine but have posted quite a few articles about cables and have a wide readership.

Tones will be along to reveal the identity.
I don't know myself as the labelling was not done by me:D

Results will  take a bit longer as I am trying to get it published if possible.

Coming, Namesake, but Kiang has done such an absolutely magnificent job at disguising these things that it took me ages to hack my way into the first one. I hope to have the time to do at least another tonight, and I think that all can be revealed by the weekend.

LADEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ'N'GENNELMEN!!!


 
The moment you’ve all been waiting for!
 
THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE CABLES!!!
 

 
(No, not “funfair”, dummy!)
 

 
Aha, that’s better!
 
Now, where was I? Oh yes…
 

 
The cables have now been laid bare – and first of all, in accepting this great honour that the Forum has bestowed upon me, I would like to thank my mother for all her dedication and love and hard work. Without it, I would not be here today. I would also like to thank my hearing consultant, who never lost faith in me, even during the darkest hours when all seemed lost. I would also like to thank the founders of this Forum, for providing such a splendid Forum for airing the views. And of course, we’d all like to thank Kiang for so brilliantly setting up this test. And naturally we can’t forget…AAAARRRRRRGH!!!!
 

 
OK, OK, here we go...
 
Cable A, yes, Cable A -  oh, I just can’t contain myself, can you? –

Well, if you put it that way...
 
Cable A isssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss























 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 



























The audiophile aftermarket cable!
 
 
Cable B isssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss





















































 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The other audiophile cable, meaningggggggg that
 
 
Cable C isssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
 
The kettle lead!
