    I received mine yesterday and tried them last night.
    I have both pre and power hooked up to 1.5m of 2.5 cable.
    They look superb and sound just as good.
    Big Big improvement over standard leads. Without any burn in, the difference is night and day. More weight, more clarity, scary realistic bass.
    Well done Andy. Highly recommended.

    No more 1.5mm cable left. I won't be stocking any more of this as most people seem to prefer the 2.5mm anyway.

    just wondering what really makes a good power plug?

    can't bother (or couldn't go mad enough) to try and listen different power plugs, i bought the following - rather cheap, rubber-covered 10A plug (i'm based in europe):

    [​IMG]

    it feels pretty solid in hand and it costs nothing (3E with german big supplier conrad).anything seriously against this kind of things? it should work with a usual 3x2.5mm lapp cable and it can nicely fit through an elastic hole on the back.

    lapp cable is so hard to manipulate with (cut, bend, etc) that once the connectors are fitted, i don't think i will bother next 10 years with the power cords in my house so it's good to know if i should go for anything better before the job is done.

    Well there are a few other things, like can the plug accommodate large cable diameters and does it have a decent cable retention mechanism, the maximum size of conductor the pins can accommodate, ideally they should be able to hold 2.5mm conductors or greater.
