Well, JohnK, that's progress, you'll admit that these cables will sound different, although you figure for the worse. OK

Try them JohnK, tell us whether they degrade or improve the audio performance of your system. I'll pay for the return postage on your cables if you agree to give them an honest listen.

BTW, what's your system?

Enjoy the Music. Trust your ears. Laugh at Folks Who Claim to Know it All.
