How much are you willing to spend?

The signiture cost £500, sounds good, but isn't the most flexable cable around which can be a worry when trying to install on a system mounted close to a wall.

Are you seriously proposing to connect a £600 amp to a £600 CD player with a £500 wire?

I use Chameleon for looping thorugh my three power amps, and also use Rumour II for the speakers.

Very happy with the cables, originally bought as a stop gap but have stayed in place and aren't going anywhere.

and you can't complain about a cable company who supplies the Villa with Signature cables in the clubs colours - I want some now.

When I first bought my Cyrus kit the nice man in Audio-T talked me into one of these. Later I tested it back-to-back with a £6 one from cable universe, and couldn't tell any difference.

I sold the Cobra.....

The cheapest thing that I've been able to hear as "better" than the £6 cheapie is a £95 KK Sterling.

I used Silver Siren & Chameleon Silver 2 )or is it plus?) twixt the 3010 CDP & amp: Chameleon is, IMO, noticeably better & worth the money.

However, I'd check out Effem's goods, as Sterling 2 is faaaaar better, but that is with the Krell amp in place. That said, it sounded excellent with Anthony's Rega Apollo.

My story is almost the same as Boxers, try a chameleon 2, or Effems equivilant, his should offer better value i reckon.

strange, I can- I also feel that 20% of the cost of the CDP is a bit much for a length of cable. I can also hear what silver interconnects do, and do not like it.

Don't think they do anything other than let you hear what the rest of the system is doing.
Ive heard them in a couple of systems- I just thought they seemed more about hi fi than music.

cheers guys. I already have a decent silver IC.
Solid silver (like Effem's) or silver plated? They're different beasts.
