Hi Gazztip Thanks for the advice, I haven't really heard anything about the Van Damme cables before... I've now ordered a 0.5m pair of Van Damme Starquad with Neutrik gold XLR's along with a 0.5m pair of silver XLR's cables to try out in my system. The silver cables are nearly 6x more...

Hi All Thanks for the replies. As expected, lots of sceptics and some of those comments I tend to agree with :-) That's fair enough but a different debate I don't really want to get into. All I'll say is that I won't buy anything without a trial period first so if it's snake oil it will go...

Am looking for balanced XLR interconnects to use in my headphone system (Benchmark DAC2--Sennheiser HDVA600--HD800 with balanced cable). Currently have a Van Den Hul First Ultimate, which is OK, but doesn't exploit the balanced connection available between DAC and amp. I've been reading about...

Strongly recommend AKG K701/2 or equivalent. I used to run this combination and it had very good synergy. Many Head-Fi'ers liked it too. I now run a Lehmann BCL and HD800 but am sure I could still happily live with the Heed/AKG combo.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a UK company who could reduce the length of my existing interconnects and re-terminate using the existing WBT connectors? Google search didn't show much. Many thanks :-)

Hi All, Many thanks for the interesting replies - much more than I expected from this thread! My 780SE's (early 2000's version, not the mid-90's one) certainly fill the room nicely at low volumes, which is essential for me because of the volume constraints due to flat living. However, I...

P.S. Need speakers that are engaging at low volume since I can't crank the volume due to the flat-living constraint :cry:

Hi, I am running a Sugden Bijou system (CDMaster/Headmaster/Ampmaster) system, or alternatively a HiFace2/Benchmark DAC1 combo feeding the Ampmaster directly. I currently have some Mission 780SE speakers from the early noughties (cherry finish) sitting on Atacama SE24 stands. Cable is Kimber...
