I also tried Silvercat CAT cables (they sponsor a B&W on-line user group for the speakers from Bowers and Wilkins that among other things forbids the discussion of any cable other then CAT cables) All I can say is that if you could pay a lot more for cables inferior to CAT cables then you could easily pay a lot less and get much more. I heard nothing special from these cables in my system. Very run of the mill with a smallish sound stage, slow sounding music and underwhelming low frequencies with somewhat dark yet bright sounding highs. Very ho hum.
