I think I reused the same connectors for the headphone extension cable, they
certainly weren't anything special, it was the cables that made the
difference. I didn't need fancy wires to get a better sound, just shorter
ones with individual unscreened wires loosely spot tied instead of those
horrible sprung coil leads.

I don't believe a competition would have any merit at all as I'm convinced
most listeners don't listen properly and no offence but how do I know you
aren't in that category?

It's not a competition, it's just *you* backing up your bull**** and
picking up an easy £1,000 if these differences are really 'night and
day', like you claim they are. Or even audible at all, to *you*, in
your own system, in your own time, and with your own choice of music.

Sorry, but listening is a skill that I'm willing
to teach to anyone with an open mind but only on my system which is far from
perfect, but has been tweaked over the years to give its best and I know it
inside out.

Yeah, right, asshole...................

You are free to use your own system and your own choice of music, the
only precondition is that the cables have the same FR over the audio
band. I've yet to see any 'audiophile' cable that claimed any FR
difference, so that shouldn't be a problem, should it? :-)
