Really easy to assemble. I ran it in overnight. Next morning sat down for a music session. Being a bit of a skeptic I wasn’t prepared to find that my most played LP’s and CD’s exhibited a greater sense of rhythm. Most noticeable when it was connected to the amplifier but… and this is the strange bit, plugging it into the CD transport or stand alone DAC exhibited a similar improvement although to a lesser degree. Crikey! and all for £10. I ordered 2 more.

I have no idea what kind of sorcery this is, but where I expected maybe a little lowering of the noise floor, I was instead treated to an all-over improvement to my audio experience when replacing the stock cable to my amplifier with one of these (off one of the 6-gang extension chords in the same line). Of particular note, it was as though someone adjusted the proverbial lens on my stereo image.
Assembly was OK, although getting parting the screen and then getting it into the earth pin with the earth cable was a bit of a chore. The cable is also a really good level of flexible – it doesn’t acquire firm kinks like others*, sitting with a nice gentle bend and I even find the aesthetics quite desirable.
Required maybe 24 hours of use before it truly opened up, was genuinely disappointed at first but left it running over night and came back happy then while chilling in the evening I found myself looking up from my phone, being caught by the bafflingly clear sound of the music.
*I have also bought a Merlin Huntsman cable at ~twice the price (£30 for 1.7 m, pre-built). In comparison, it is an unpleasantly rigid cable, kinked from its packaged days. I’ve compared the two cable types in powering my CD player and the Huntsman sounds discernibly worse, muddy and fuzzy by comparison.
As a simple and cheap upgrade, I avidly recommend this product and have since bought more to connect up my remaining gear.
