Talking seriously for a minute, once theyve had a 'run in' period (And please anyone that doesnt believe in them, dont bother to say as such), they sound fantastic
I highly recommend you invest in the IC lead too

Stereolad:Am I missing something or is this just a length of insulated copper?
'Linear Crystal' copper (far more pure than standard OFC copper cables)
And as they use them at places sucha s 'Abbey Road' studios im thinking they cant be half bad (especially as they can be bought cheaper than all the known brands)

I'm sure these are great value cables but like the Silver Streak (I think that's what they are called), their disciples seem to believe they are as good or better than top quality £200 cables from the likes of Chord.

Im not stating theyre better than anything in particular bar what ive tried on my own system which is Van Den Hul Teatrac (Or whatever its called), QED Slver Spiral, ics and speaker cables (hate that stuff), Russ Andrew silver streak (ICs), Homegrown Audios solid silver ics and speaker cables and a few other bits and pieces
What I can state for a fact is for the price they blow everything else out the water, and a hell of a lot more WELL above the price

Fair play then Erik. I think some others might go over board having not tried as many as you.

My dads just fitted some to his system to test against some very expensive Black Rhodium cables (And his system overall is far more expensive then mine). Im intrigued to see how they sound, gonna bob over sunday.

Nearly every forum ive been on theyre only comparing the studio blue too, which whilst excellent stuff, isnt as good as the LC-OFC stuff thats used in the recording studios. So yes, I think its mainly the cable sceptics that lay such claims.

vinod_david:Where do you get the UP LCOFC IC from, any links ?
Look back through the thread. EBAY seems the best bet if you want to get plugs fitted. Personally I bought mine elsewhere online for a 10m roll and fitted my own plugs

michael hoy:Very interesting, what size are you using.
The 4mm biwired to my center and the 4mm biamped to my main (May or may not get round to the rears which im not that fussed about)
The 2.5mm should be fine for most people though
I bought 15mtrs of the 4mm, used this for my LCR speakers, changed my amp at the same time so it is not easy to say if they are better or not.
However I thought I would make the change whilst I had all the equipment out of my cabinet.
Must say I am happy anyway with the new sound.

Planning to change to LC-OFC from Blue. Is it worth it? - If I buy the 2.5mm (2m) cable, is that fine?
TIA

Thanks. How I wish I can order from that site. According to that site, there are only two countries 'Isle of ....' and 'UK Mainland', shame! I need to take the expensive route then.

Which Bi-wire cable are you actually using Rik? Is it this "tour grade black series" speaker cable?

Hi jase
No, its UP LC-OFC (Ultra Pure Linear Crystal Oxygen Free Copper). The cable itself has an almost clear sheath, whilst the blue and black are not opaque at all
The blue and black grades are not the Linear Crystal type (the difference between blue and black is that the black grade has better shielding, but at the slight expense of quality)
