    'GREAT UPGRADE'
    Strengths:
    All round improvement on the standard 'fly-lead' connector on my Marantz CD600 OSE kI. I had to manufacture a plug for the cicuit board, but a vast improvement
    Weaknesses:
    A little thick for the intended purchase, so getting hold of the right cable clamp was a bit of a bodge.
    Overall:
    Great improvement over standard cable, I wish I had bought some years ago.

    'EXCELLENT QUALITY AND VALUE'
    Strengths:
    Well constructed and shielded. Easy to terminate
    Weaknesses:
    None at the price
    Overall:
    I bought 2 sets of Lorad 1.5 with IEC and mains plugs for my Sky digital box and Denon DF101 mini, as part of a "tidy-up" of cabling. The cables are easy to terminate and look very tidy. Definite performance improvement on Sky, with sharper picture and denser blacks. Limited improvement on Denon sound, but already using a dedicated mains consumer unit and no known interference issues.

    '85% OF LORAD 2.5'S PERFORMANCE AT TWO THIRDS OF THE PRICE.'
    Strengths:
    - thin, easy to handle and easy to wire.
    - a big upgrade for the price of a CD (for a meter)
    Weaknesses:
    - Nothing serious at the price (but you can get the LoRad 2.5 for GBP6/M more...)
    Overall:
    If you are on a tight budget, forget about upgrading your interconnects - instead rewire your system using the 1.5s.

    For the price of a pair of "budget" interconnect cables (GBP30) you can rewire your CD player and Integrated Amp and get a much better improvement.

    Recommended.

    'GOOD VALUE FLEXIBLE CABLE'
    Strengths:
    small diameter, easy to retro fit to captive mains systems. Does a good job of cutting out interferance especially line level signal cables.
    Weaknesses:
    None.
    Overall:
    A thoroughly recommended cable for people on a budget or DIYers. I soldered this cable to all my captive kit and managed to squeeze it into the grommets in my kit by stripping the outer layer and using shrink sleeving. Looks like a real professional job.

    'VERY CHEAP FOR PERFORMANCE'
    Strengths:
    There is an audible difference
    Weaknesses:
    None at the price
    Overall:
    This is a good starter mains cable for very little money. It's quite an easy one to terminate and the design is a clever one.
