| 'NATURAL WITH WIDE DYNAMIC RANGE' | | Strengths:
Natural presentation, open sound with wide dynamic range. | | Weaknesses:
Does take some running in - hours (but starts off sounding good) | | Overall:
Upgraded from QED Original, non-bi-wire, so how much of the added space and musicality is due only to the cable and not the configuration, is difficult to tell. Certainly is a musical and open sounding cable, with deeper, more defined bass and a more natural treble. Instruments have more natural presence. It certainly improves over the hours of use - the sound becomes more controlled and balanced. |

| 'GREAT VALUE BUT NOT VERY BENDY' | | Strengths:
Able to convey very subtle details on my Linn Index speakers. For example, the cymbals on "Kind of Blue" sound amazingly real. | | Weaknesses:
Stiff and springy. Hard to stow spare length if your amp is closer to one speaker than another (only a heathen would use different lengths of cable!). Looks like ordinary white speaker cable which is a shame having paid for all that silver. | | Overall:
Price/performance is great. Some good prices on-line (I got mine from hificables.co.uk). I doubt if the cable really removes any bass, it's more likely that by revealing more detail at the high end the overall tonal balance is changed. Or in other words you don't have to turn it up so loud to hear everything. |

| 'OPENED UP MY SYSTEM BRILLIANTLY!' | | Strengths:
lovely clear/detailed range
| | Weaknesses:
quite thick,and fed up with other half playing goldfrapp all the time | | Overall:

| 'TOP DOLLAR' | | Strengths:
When used with the Qunex 3 interconnect my system now sounds fantastic (It's taken a long time to settle/Burn in)but it's now realistic.Ive tried expensive interconnects and matching speaker cable which initialy sounded fantastic but after some time I found that the sound was " Enhanced too bright" My system you ask is Cyrus CD8 Cyrus 8vs Mission 782se I'm at long last happy with the sound without spending a fortune.The music is live and natural . | | Weaknesses:
Difficult to route round corners.You get the same sound from the non bi wire ones,for me biwire only works if you use different value cables to fine tune the high and low frequencies.Even so at this price it's still top dollar | | Overall:
Excellent and in my system brilliant with the qunex 3.I would rate the Q3 top marks if I rewrite my review of them.Even the base is good! |

| 'VERY GOOD, DETAILED CABLE BUT BASS LIGHT.' | | Strengths:
Good resolution for price. Good value. | | Weaknesses:
It's not as good as DNM Reson. Bass light. | | Overall:
This is a good cable which is detailed but has some of the disadvantages of silver primary of which is that it is very bass light. Very good for controlling a booming bass though.
In general though, I found it best to single wire in DNM which is a better balanced cable. |

| 'NICE AND DETAILED' | | Strengths:
Helped correct some initial 'muddiness' with my Mission M33 floorstanding speakers. They are now much brighter and more detailed. Soundstage has been improved as well - now have nice detail all round. Vocals also sound great. | | Weaknesses:
None as far as I can see. | | Overall:
For the money, these are really great. If you find that your system is a little dark, then try these to brighten up the sound. It worked very well for me - now very happy with my system. This cable was the missing link; bass does not seem to have suffered to any discernible degree (which can apparently happen with silver coated cables), but that may be due to the fact that I have a NAD set up with Mission speakers which delivers a very meaty sound anyway. |

| 'CLEAN AND CHRISP SOUND, VERY OPEN AND DETAILED' | | Strengths:
I used this on my B&W601's with a YAMAHA AX750se,i like the presentation of the music, it's clear and defined with good bass,bi wiring really opened up the soundstage, a very nice cable that works well with home cini to.The cable is flexable and being white/clear you don't really notice it, but it does look quite posh!Even my girlfiend noticed the differance when i fired my system up, so it's a winner! | | Weaknesses:
The plastic covering is hard to remove even with the correct tools!it's very soft and stretches making it hard to get a clean end, could do with more markings on the cable just to make life easier when tracing back. | | Overall:
Very impressed with this cable and i can't fault the sound, worth a listen and for the money it's the dogs
