Mapleshade Clearview Ultrathin Interconnects


Does anyone have any experience with either the Clearview Ultrathin II or the Clearview Double Helix II?

Any comments? Especially if you've tried both.

Thanks.

As a generalized comment on Mapleshade interc onnects, speaker cables, and power cords, I am really sold on these things. I have the double helix versions and the "regular" versions and have essentially replaced all my wires (Kimber KCAG and 8TC and AQ Lapis and Diamond) with them and with Omego Mikro ICs. I've been simply amazed by them. The 30-day return offered by Mapleshade makes it, for me at least, a no-brainer. I have a tube-based system (mostly CJ Premier)with Gallo Ultimate speakers. Only caveat - they're fragile and not really pet- or child-friendly.
I have used them both. The double Helix seems to give deeper bass as I recall. I like Maple and think they are also a good value, however the power cords were not to my liking because they made the high end on my system to hissey! I, like many others have upgraded to other interconnects.
Currently employing both in a Welborne Laurel II 300B SET monoblocks/Tannoy Monitor Gold setup with extremely pleasurable results. Be interested to hear from anyone having tried them in a high powered rig though. In any event, I concur with Dopogue; 30-Day return policy = why not give them a shot? BTW, his "caveat" should definitely be heeded.
