for the remote sense cable

Some 3 weeks ago I received these cables.
LS cables I've been using so far where Dunlavy's (to match my speakers)
The only other cables I tried were DIY 25 pair CAT5 cable, so I haven't
tried many LS cables!

I'm not the one to say that my whole systems sounds 10 times better
than before etc etc, but I's like to call these cables icing on the cake.

I already loved my system, but these cables make most things sound just
a little bit better.
Improved imaging/soundstage/details.
slightly deeper and tighter bass.

Music I tried was Tori Amos on cd. Here voice sounded the same as with
the dunlavy cables, but 3D soundstage improved just a little bit.

Incubus had a tighter bass and much better 2 and 3d soundstage.

An old Van Morrison CD sounded better overall.

SRV had a bit more punch and Kate bush more details.
etc,etc.

I didn't take notes on all specific audiofile aspects. The Quality of
my musical experience just improved with these cables. Enough to justify
it's price, so they're staying.

Try them if you own a spectron amp.
