Dont know, why wouldnt you?
You could go and buy one and let us all know the results. All I know is my Chord Crimson I/C on my hi fi is EXACTLY as descrabed in WHF, recent auditions have also shown their review of the Chord Chameleon to be pretty much spot on as well.

I bought one, and to be honest couldn't tell any difference between my cheapo interconnect. Tried to be A/B test, but by the time I swapped the cables over it wasn't possible to tell the difference. Maybe my hearing is shot, but I have the same problem with speaker cable, no descernable difference IMHO.
It must be in my system, B&W 684 speakers, Denon 1500 amp. and cdp, with almost rock and pop. I have tried Van den hul 102, but this was a mismatch. I like a full bodied sound. For me no silver.
Maybe the Cardas crosslink is better?

Thats the problem I'm having doing my IC comparison. I think that for a lot of systems then the changes in cables might not be as big as thjose in equipment, and even they can be quite small. I doubt I would ever seriously consider spending more than £60 on an IC and £10 a metre on speaker cable....at least until I can hear that much £££'s worth of improvement. So far one of the best tweaks for VFM was to buy £5 worth of anti static CD wipes, I am amazed that they show an improvement at all, but they do, and more than my IC changes have!

Some of the more high end mags like having a go at WHF but in the last 10 years of buying it ive always found them to be spot on with the reviews and have built a great system using their advice, and that includes atlas ics which helped smooth out an edgy system. They replaced a more expensive silver type. But no cable is going to make a system better than what its capable of and the reviewrs always make that clear.
I bought an Atlas Equator about a month ago and was really impressed how it smoothed my previously bright CA system. Definately recommended.
