In the context of the system within it was playing, it performed really well. But the phono wasn’t the one supposed to run in production so I´d rather wait to listen to the finished product and til then avoid reaching any conclusion.

Could you share your first hand experiences about? Thank's in advance. R.

She obviously noticed what kind of money is involved with cables and decided to try for her own but with the idea that (sometime) ''less is better'' which explains the thickness difference between both brands. I am not sure if she has ever heard about the old Alchemist. !00 of those are ever appointed by the German Keizer with the task to turn German lead, with which Germany was richly rewarded, into gold because the same mother nature totally forget the ''gold standard'' . The Keizer's as well the Alchemist dream, alas, never realized. However the new Alchemist deed succeed to turn , not lead, but well copper into gold. This explains the price of some of those cables.
