Cable Reviews
August 2004 Richard Black, Hi-Fi Choice- Editor's Choice Award (UK)
"The interconnects are clearly superbly detailed and give a fantastically 'black' background out of which the music can grow. Or perhaps one might better say that it's a 'midnight blue' background because there seems to be a subtle emphasis of the bass, somewhere around the register of a low male voice, compared to available 'reference' cables. It doesn’t seem to be quite as simple as a total aberration but there's a sense that the frequencies in that region have been slightly enhanced in some way. More detail? Euphonic coloration? After a lot of cable swapping, it seemed to be the former - which is clearly an excellent result. The rest of the range is also highly detailed and notably mellow without being in the least rolled off, just free of grain and grunge."
"The speaker cables are certainly detailed..."
"Where they excel, though, is with lively rhythmic music, where they really seem to keep things in tempo. They repeated this trick in a couple of other systems, proving that it's no fluke, and it's a fine quality."
Cables at this price are not something to buy unheard, and we'd strongly recommend some careful auditioning.
Nevertheless, there are definitely qualities in both these cables, which are unusual, and worth seeking out. If you're listening to expensive wires, hear these.
Manufacturers comment: "Good review, however strange that everyone who has purchased our speaker cables have a diffrent view, so listen for yourself!"

This reviewer claimed the earth connection sounded different by switching the socket on or off.
Its common knowledge that the earth is always connected, so it throws the validity of this review into question.
