First I have to admit I was but a few seconds away from launching these cables right into the frickin ocean….I have less than a foot of space between the back of my rig and the wall, installing these things was a blood pressure raising experience. It was like wrestling with an effin’ anaconda. I had to vertically bi-wire them because the magnets are so strong that the cables kept linking together. Anyway, now that they are setting in I can say that it was well worth the aggravation. Just yesterday added a BAT Vk-51SE preamp and I didn’t think the soundstage could get any better, or wider! I suck at describing what I’m hearing but I’m listening to Fink “rocking chair” and the presentation is deep, airy and TIGHT. The decay of the vocals is superb. Wow. I hunted for these cables for a long time, these are a home run.
