Over on E bay, theres a guy called "thudspud"claiming that the iec mains cables he sells are better than RA siggys at an astonishing fraction of the price, as it says above, around £13 for half metre Id be interested if anybody here has heard/got them, and if that statement is true.

Just buy some KK Stratos or Mercurys and be done with it.

Remember - money-back guarantee

it's the old adage: if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. I'm surprised he hasn't claimed it as 'the world's best mains cable.'

Doesn't the seller just say it sounds as good as the Russ Andrews cables - quite possibly true in at least some test conditions...I mean the test wigwam did could be read as showing that a kettle chord sounds as good as a £100 mains cable

Mind you, i couldnt detect any difference when i recently borrowed some higher priced cables than my RA Classik, so maybe neither could he between his own and the RA Signature!

Serious mate! Presents all the detail without forcing it 'in your face'. It's like a veil has been lifted. A very good cable for not very much money.

Fook me, im astonished, i have a Classik, and at the sort of price thud spud is selling his for, its worth a punt to see how much of a difference there is......although i still have a suspicious feeling youre just taking the piss!

Ive also noticed theres a £1.50 difference on the half metre cable, and one is black, the other silver, any idea why this is so? after al i wouldnt have thought thirty bob would make a difference........

Dave, whilst youre saying it could sell for twice the dosh, hitting pre sale time cost of RA Yello, hes claiming its as good as one costing 20 times hitting price of RA Sig, i agree though, it sounds stunning value which ever price RA cable it competes with.

Soundstage is increased, bass has more physicality - depth and slam is more palpable. Treble hovers languidly in the air beforedecaying naturally. Vocals are projected with greater diction. Fricatives arepresentedrealistically. Sibilance disappears.

I had an RA Sig and it precisesly diddly squat - so I wouldn't say it is a cable to aspire to....

got a Coherent cable and it seemed to make a big difference (especially in comparison to the RA!!!). Unfortunately its sitting unused atm because Ichanged to an amp with a captive mains cable and my cdp uses a fig-of-8input:(

You can always modify your cdp and amp to take advantage of after-maket leads.

Quote from his sales blurb...

"Finally, I can make these cables with Figure 8 connectors at the end, Normally found on lower powered equipment such as tuners or freeview boxes etc. No extra charge for this, just state your requirements with your payment."

They are nothing more than cheap 3 core SYrobotics cable that anyfoolcan screw together.How that is classed as a "reference" power cord is beyond me
