He did sell some speaker cable for £250 though.

I wish his customers would come and look at my eBay ads!

Post by: HTH AMPS on August 16, 2011, 05:34:10 PM: I was only looking as I'm getting some mains cables from Mercury Magnetics that they claim offer tonal benefits, but they're only $9.99, so it's worth a punt for that price just to see.
