And I Thought I Was Over the Top

[George 47]

Jeezzzz..... I thought I was a bit over keen spending a grand on interconnect and speaker cables (Virtual Dynamics Nites I/C and David Speaker cables) but Martin Colloms has just reviewed the newer, just below the top Transparent cables.

At only £16K for the cheapie set and £22K for the semi-serious cable I am just fooling myself

, especially when you realise the top cable was a little system dependent and did not always show a clean pair of heels to the cheapie.

What!!

:shock: of course it doesn't include the mains cables, these are speciality cables and are therefore a shade more expensive than those from Maplins.

I think we need to get out more, mind you I get my cables because I like what they do............ so in the same system cables costing £60 are wired in next to a 1k cable.

16k is a lot, 22k is a very lot

A grand doesn't seem ridiculous.
