If it brings me closer to the "perfect" Hi Fidelity sound that I want then
the cable without doubt!!
how can you have "pure" sounf from digital sound processing ? a CD player
is a bad enough abomination of an analouge signal.And dont slag off analouge
sources without analouge sound you could not hear anything.

What's an 'analouge'? Is it some species of oil-bearing snake?

I just checked my wife's medical textbook. Apparently it's a haemorrhoid
treatment.

Wow! A top-posting analouge troll. Is analouge some painful sort of
rectal complaint?

I thought I recognised the name. In an earlier post, Staffbull said:

"In the last two years I have bought two cars brand new costing a total of
£43k and did not test drive either!!".

So £8.5k for speaker cable is just pocket money.

....and the fact he doesn't test drive a car before spending approx £21k on
it says a great deal about his discernment and desire to find the best
product for *him* rather then the product he's told is "the best"

I'd love to know what you listen to that doesn't include 'digital sound
processing'...

But then you can hear the difference in cables. So that explains it.

Careful - there are people who claim to tell the difference in solder.

"The standard leaded Kester (Sn63/Pb37 Product 24-6337-0027 .031 22swg or
Sn62/Pb36/Ag02) with the "44" core sounds good too, but with a slight loss of
resolution compared to the Kester SN95. My favorite solder with the "44" core
is Kester's Sn95/Ag05 lead free silver solder. My favorite solder with the
IA-423 is Johnson's OR-120 organic core version. (Their "rosin" version is
awful, BTW.) Most other solders create a "brittle" or bright sound because most
rosins perform poorly in regard to high-fidelity interface. If the system is
slightly bright, the Kester I mentioned will warm it up a tad. If the system is
either warm or accurate, I'd go with the IA-423 Organic Core"
