    Having re arranged my room I dont need 4 m runs any more.As I use Origin cable its not too flexible for short runs.Any suggestions for no more han 2m runs and without costing the same as gold bullion,terminated or not?

    DNM reson or Kimber 4PR at reasonable prices. NVA LS3 or 5 also worth listening to. I replaced v expensive cable with LS 5 and see (hear!) no reason to go back.

    NVA offer a try out period (as does RA if you want to hear Kimber - 4TC is about the best to have a listen to as diminishing returns kick in a bit after this).
    Biwire? Nah, just use single runs and "jumpers" of the same cable I always say...

    Cut one of the existing cables in half.

    The inexpensive OL stuff you have cannot be bettered.

    Thanks Wickfut.I am going to try cutting the OL to size first and see how it goes,I just think it may be too inflexible.The NVA stuff didnt look inflexible but dont know if someone can advise on that.I have a very expensive Merlin Dragon set in place ,on loan,but the OL stuff betters it.In my last system the Meril cable was brilliant.Just shows.

    I wouldn't have DNM unless you seriously want to truncate dyanmic.

    The NVA (LS5) is reasonable in terms of flexibility. At 2m the DNM won't cause any problems.
