More detail required. What equipment were you connecting? Were the balanced and single-ended interconnects essentially made from the same materials?Regards, 
What Patty Smith album to own?
"Horses", most definitely. I also thought that her recent work "Trampin'" was surprisingly good. Not all reviews have been favourable, but that's not an unsusual situation.Regards,

I've owned the Super Eclipse Series II for more than three years and they have been totally satisfying. I recently upgraded them with the Extender Feet that helped widen the footprint and compensate for the tall, narrow design that can be a little...
