    Selling the following, genuine reference cables at silly money just to clear.

    Van Den Hul Integration 1.2mtr. I have two pairs of these fabulous carbon cables. These compare with cables costing 10 times the price and in the right system will work wonders

    RRP £180 per pair

    Sell for £90 per pair or £50 per length for use as a AES/EBU (at which it excells)

    Also selling

    1 x 1 mtr Cardas AES/EBU. Cost new £269 sell for just £100 to clear. this is definately one of the finest digital interconnects around if you want body and warmth. It adds these qualities and is one of the few that does without robbing the system of dynamics and detail. Even WM liked it!

    I will also have some 5 mtr lengths of Isolda going cheap but not quite yet so do register your interest early if you want!

    Yes the Cardas is a decent cable, and a fair price too :)

    Excuse my ignorance, but what is Isolda?

    If it's good quality balanced cable, then I'm interested as I need to make a stereo pair for DAC to Amp.

    Please educate me.

    Isolda, is Max T's DCT, Geotz copper ribbon speaker cable (rebadged cryo'd and with zobel networks), pretty fair it is too, great bass enhancement, the I/c's how ever, leaves a bit to be desired (from a former owner). Wm

    Wm - Thanks for letting me know.

    By the way, followed the link to your website. I'll probably order some eichmanns' off you in due course as your doing them for a fair price. Also, you may be able to answer a question I just posted on DIY board Re XLR's & Balanced cable sources.

    The Isolda is now sold. The VDH Integrations are however available and are a superb balanced interconnect at a give away price. They stand comparison with cables costing many times more as martin Colloms and others have pointed out.

    I also have a couple of pairs of Cardas Golden Reference (1x1mtr, 1x0.5mtr) for sale if you want some thing very special. Asking £450 and £400 per pair which is less than half the UK retail.

    Cheers

    It's a good buy but I'm afraid they're just a bit too short. My amp rack's 2m from my DAC. Tempting though...

    No Mate. I'm keeping those for the downgraded setup;) Currently using a £700 universal player with £1K interconect, £300 support, and £2K mains lead:eek: Sounds fairly good actually:D
