Thanks for the info, I got the Analysis Plus Solo Crystal 8's about 2 weeks ago on Audiogon, they were just the length I needed and also the biwire I was looking for. Plus they had the WBT locking bananas on the speaker end which I like a lot, makes hookup much easier.
Now for the sound? I got a pleasent suprise just like you guys said, across the board gains in speed, detail, accuracy, plus it is just a more musical cable than the others I have tried. It blows away my Audioquest Mammoth, and while the Transparent Music Wave Super and Kimber Monacle XL could match it in some areas they couldn't match it in all areas. I really like the way this cable sounds with my CJ 2250A and Audes Blues speakers, it is very dynamic and still gives me the little tiny details and intimacy I am looking for. I don't think I could do much better without spending in the 1500 dollar range, so I am planning on keeping the Solo Crystal 8's awhile.
My next upgrade will be a really good digital source, something like an Accuphase DP 75 or the Marantz SA 11S1. I think I could gain a lot of depth and detail on redbook with one of those units.
