From a company that loves high-end audio reproduction ~
We all know that really good
interconnects can transform an audio system, but how good are the
interconnects that are available, could they be better, and are they
really worth the money? Is it possible to make The Ultimate Interconnect for a
reasonable cost?
We firmly believe the answer to that last question is yes. High-end
cable manufacturers plow vast sums of money into advertising to
maintain the prestige of their brand name and rub the backs of
magazines where they advertise, for which they expect, in return,
favourable reviews of their products. Has any reviewer dared to say a
company's £500 interconnect isn't as good as another company's
£100 interconnect? It simply isn't in anyone's interest to rock
the boat, yet we all know that high cost doesn't guarantee high quality.
The majority of high-end cables are produced by just a few
manufacturers, and they are often priced ten times and more their
manufacture cost. A significant portion of the mark-up goes into glossy
adverts and the rest makes up huge profit margins for the cable company
and dealers. While this cycle continues, cable companies release ever
more expensive, "updated and improved", "new breakthrough" versions of
their
products, guaranteed glowing reviews and setting their customer base
coveting "the latest and greatest".
We don't think this is fair. So we do things differently.
Our best, most transparently performing interconnect at a justifiable
and sane price - the finest quality
materials accomplish our design objective. We won't hit you
again and again for upgrades, making you want to pay for new
"improvements". Our Silver Reference/Gold NPST Field interconnect is
made one of the very few ways a
top-performance analogue interconnect can ever be made.
We promise unbeatable sonic performance whether your system cost
£500 or £50K.
If you think the best cables should look like jumper leads, cost
£1000,
and have massive RCA blocks, we'll be glad to provide you an education.
With a money-back guarantee, naturally.
No 1000% profit margins - they're unconscionable, unjustified, and
undoubtedly one reason why newcomers are put off by the fading high-end
hi-fi industry.
No magazine advertisements - the costs would have to be factored into
our retail prices, and "good" magazine adverts can be very costly
indeed, not just in terms of money.
No magazine reviews - we simply don't play that game. We refuse to
increase our
prices to pay for magazine advertisements, and ultimately we think it’s
healthier for everyone if the opinions of hi-fi reviewers (just as
those of movie critics, etc.) are taken for what they are worth - the
opinion of someone else. We care what you - our client - thinks about
our products, and we are confident enough in
their sonic superiority to supply on a
trial-and-return basis.

StraightThru NPST Construction
Traditional
Interconnect Construction
|
Key Qualities
- Our finest interconnect cable - made without
compromise.
- Single silver/gold signal and signal
return
conductors for symmetric field geometry - impossible for cables with
screens.
- No
functionally useless dielectric materials, or complex braiding and
screens around them to produce complex sonic colourations.
- DDS to reject dielectric influence.
- Skin effect is effectively controlled by
narrow diameter conductors encased within a gold layer.
- Wound signal and signal return yields
low energy storage, resulting in eye-opening soundstaging and transient
performance.
- Single core conductor for signal and
signal return eliminates chaotic electron migration through conductor
strands and their imperfect barriers, especially problematical in
cables with braided screens and/or signal conductors.
- Excellent mechanical damping coupled with
extremely low capacitance ensures no microphonics.
- Lead-free, silver-loaded solder provides
excellent signal continuity between the conductors and our proprietary
RCAs - high quality copper,
Teflon insulated, and finished in attractive black chrome.
- No useless wooden "presentation box" to
pay for - functional packaging provided.

Sound Quality Promise ~
|
|
|
|
|
Simple is best. The finest amplifiers are crafted from uncompromising
quality electronic components and employ simple elegance in their
circuit executions. Thanks to the likes of NAD, Linn, Rotel, Naim,
Arcam, and even some of the Chinese-origin tube amps from eBay (the
ones with properly specified output transformers), getting a good
measure of greatness for your money needn't obliterate your purse.
Simplicity in a cable design is not a vacuous pitch line from
StraightThru. As with great-sounding amplifier technologies, physics
suggests to us that only a few conductor and dielectric geometries can
ever deliver genuine fidelity. Spend more and one expects heavier
output transformer iron - and tighter performance specifications and
superior fidelity as a result. We actively encourage our clients to
evaluate our cables against the most expensive, well-reviewed products
they can lay their hands on.
|
|
- Holographic imaging with fully rendered
soundstages. Height, width and depth as captured at recording
time - be prepared.
- No "bass", "treble" or "midrange"
considerations. We do whole music - arresting, addictive and wholly
satisfying.
- Absolutely no colourations designed in -
discover your system's true potential.
- No deleterious capacitive, inductive, or
resistive effects to
bloom bass, sharpen treble, harden the mid-band, produce elaborate time
domain
errors, or otherwise draw your attention away from the performance.
- Keep your system well-balanced and you
won't buy a £1K cable
again, no matter how purple and enticing the review prose - we promise.

"Dear Straight Thru, the cables arrived today
safe & sound. I plugged them in and and am delighted with the sound
improvement. I was expecting a subtle change but the improvement was
clear and obvious. Thanks, another satisfied customer!!"
"Hi, These are truly excellent cables... I have tried many different
designs and brands of cable but these definately perform far better
throughout the whole bandwidth than the others. Looking forward to
seeing if your speaker cable when released, will perform as well as my
Chord odyssey speaker cable."
"Hi, sorry it took a while, but stunning is all I can say. $18K
system still with some room for improvements, but Straighttru
interlinks wont be going anywhere. my $700 silver wonders on eBay
tomorrow. Thank you, let me know when speaker cables available again,
can;'t wait."
"Dear Straight Thru, The cables arrived today safe & sound. I
plugged them in and and am delighted with the sound improvement. I was
expecting a subtle change but the improvement was clear and obvious.
Thanks, another satisfied customer!!"
"Hi there, just a quick question, are your
cables in any
way directional? [No, they are not directional]. Nothing in the
accompanying instructions says
otherwise, so I am assuming they are not? Many thanks for the fast
delivery, its nice to deal with a company who doesn't keep you waiting
an age for its products. Have to say I am really impressed with the
cables performance, there are are now things on my CD's
that I have never heard before! I would not hesitate to recommend
your product, it makes all other interconnects that i have used
sound
seriously compromised.Are there any release dates for your loudspeaker
cables, as i am considering a future purchase? [back in produciton soon
and will be available from eBay]
Thanks again, keep on doing what you are doing!"
"Greets, Thank you, thank you guys. I seriously love this cable and yes
feel like I've tried all the best ones and heard them all before in my
system, not literally obviously but I think you get an idea. The ST's
are replacing a 'jumper lead" that cost..,well never mind it's
embarrassing really but I'm looking forward to ebaying them off and
replacing the other ICs in my system with yours. Thanks again, thanks
thanks thanks, please feel free to use my comments on your site!"
"This is another testimonial, for anyone out there who is vacilating
about purchasing one of these astonishing interconnects and who may be
wondering if all the foregoing text is just hype. I have owned two
pairs of these leads for a while now. God only knows how StraightThru
do it, but at this or practically any other price, these are the only
cables I consider nowadays. I am not joking."
"Hi Dave, just to let you know that all the
leads leads arrived
safely. I have broken them in on my system and my PC. The 1.5m
leads
are hooked up between my valve speaker and my PC, broke them in over
night last night. I had a good listen this morning and the improvement
is startling. The valve speaker are from China, and they are truly
amazing, they are about the same size as Linn Kans. Adding your leads
has opened the sound up, the music that comes from them now is close to
reference quality.Unbelievable considering the source is a PC with a
good sound card.
Your sub cable and digital leads are
hooked up to my system for me to try until the weekend. Also broke
those in over night on the DVD player. The cables I am comparing them
to are custom made and cost about three times as much as yours do. I'm
gutted and ecstatic at the same time. Gutted because I wish I knew
about your leads before I paid well over the odds for leads I thought
were the dogs b******s at the time. Ecstatic because your leads have
made huge difference to my system. I don't really get this but I have
turned the sub down 3db's because it was shaking the house to bits. Its
back in balance now, I think the reason I had to adjust it is because
your sub cable is half the length, but more importantly it has low
frequency handling capabilities that I haven't come across before. It
seems to let through all that lovely deep bass with minimum fuss and
maximum control. On top of that it has made the bass sound, powerful
dynamic, and very very clean indeed. In fact there were very low
frequencies effortlessly oozing from it today I had never heard before,
or even thought the sub was cable of. I got to hand it to you guys, you
seem to have come up with cables that, in my opinion, every hifi system
in the world should be wired up with. Your
digital lead I must admit I had reservations about, because it carries
zero's and ones rather than and analog signal, I couldn't see how it
would be an improvement over my very expensive digital lead. I watched
Jurassic Park lll today and was blown away by the DTS sound. It
was
really good before, but now its so convincing, its
frightening!! I've
eaten my words. Bottom
line is I now can't live with my old sub cable and digital lead, so can
you make me some new ones please. The sub cable I require is 1.5M and
the digital lead is 0.5M. Thank you for getting my friends leads
out to me so quickly, its a real mark of professionalism."
"I have to hand it to you, you have achieved what you set out to
do...... I have had some decent equipment (Krell, Proceed, Linn, Naim,
Talk, Valve amps, John Shearne, Acoustic Precision) and cables (Chord
Nordost, Missing Link, Cable Talk Ref etc ) in my time, but never has
any of my systems sounded this good. I know my current set up is
capable of fine detail and excellent resolution, but it has stepped up
a notch or two from what I expected. Resolution & transparency,
space & seperation, timing, such focus on bass control, previously
a weakness in my system, outright pin drop detail, this is an
outstanding achievement for less than £90. you could add a nought
on for this level of performance (well I say performance but this cable
must be totally transparent as the equipment is supposed to do the work
and the cable carries a signal to be amplified, but something sparked a
revolution after 15 mins of connection which was 4 hrs after the
Degauss burn in cd). Had I seen your ad a while ago I may well have
saved a fortune chopping and changing."
"What can i say ,FANTASTIC let them burn in for 7 hrs at 1250am started
to listen and at 330am i pulled myself to bed.I had to work in the
morning.Have been listening to all types of music WOH.Hope to purchase
a set of you gold ref speaker cables when funds allow,many thanks.your
claims are as good as you said."
"Sorry thats its been a while before i left feedback but i wanted to be
certain that the cables were as good as promised, being an ex pro sound
engineer/producer i am really fussy about sound and i sometimes
struggle to hear improvements in raved about products...not in your
case,the cables are fantastic opening up the sound beautifully giving
real definition right through the whole sound stage...i have to admit i
was sceptical at first and i think that makes it very difficult for a
product to impress...your cables did it with bells on!!!! Please feel
free to use this on your site as i am more than happy to recommend your
cables."
"Good day. I just thought I'd email you with some more feedback.
Yesterday I connected your interconnect between my Marantz PM17 amp and
CD17 CD player (both KI Sig spec) along with speaker cable I also
bought through eBay (Seduction Audio). To say I was astounded is an
understatement. I was transported back to when I heard the most
phenomenal set up ever. I was looking for a new pair of speakers at a
hi-fi show and was prepared to pay up to £3000. Nothing took my
interest until I entered a dem room and Led Zep's Whole Lotta Love was
playing. I was transfixed. I asked how much the speakers
were....£499 was the answer. Amp/CD was Primare. This was too
good to be true. The interconnect & speaker cables...Nordost SPM
Reference. Say no more. Well I ended up buying the speakers (System
Audio 1130) with a view to getting the Nordost cables 'one day'. Well,
now I don't need to - I have the sound I have always thought I'd never
achieve. So thank you."
"Hi, I'm currently using a cryogenically treated cable between source
and pre amp. They have Eichmann bullet plugs, They are to date, by far
the best leads I've used from source to pre amp. I think the Eichmann
plugs are a major contributor to how good they sound. Have you tried
the Eichmann plugs on your cable? If not would you be prepared to make
a pair with the plugs so I can try them? I really do think they
allow an interconnect cable to perform at it's best. I'm really
interested in your cable design, but very reluctant to change from
Eichmann plugs. It would be a fair test of the actual cables against
each other, on my system, without what influences the plugs may or may
not be having on the overall sonic performance. May make for a
interesting testimonial! Would be interested to hear what you think on
the subject."
[We recommended using our cables as designed - second, third, and,
following an additional purchase, fourth and fifth emails follow from
same client]
"First impressions are, "I'm a bit stunned!"
"Hi Dave, as I'm getting used to the new leads a few things have struck
me like how sweet and pin point accurate they sound in the high
frequencies. I have enjoyed good instrument separation with my existing
leads, but not this good. The bass seems much more controlled punchy
and faster. The mid range is more open than before with smooth as silk
vocals that seem to hang in the air along with everything else, all
good I think. Thing is I have some leads between the pre amp and power
amp that my local hi-fi specialist kindly made for me. This cable is
from China I believe. It has eight pure copper conductors that are
individually insulated with PTFE in its construction. I know he has
them in use in his system in preference to Chord Signature because they
sound so neutral, I tend to agree. I'm told that this cable is for pro
use in theaters and alike and not available to the general public. It's
really nice wire but I can't help thinking that your Straightthru cable
may well blow it away, curiosity hey? I would like a try, but I'll need
1 metre pair, can you give a price for them please and your thoughts on
this? Many thanks"
"I got the 1.1's this morning, running them today and going to burn
them in properly overnight tonight with the CD. Just a case of putting
them on the source player and leaving it on repeat. At the moment I
would say that the 1.1's have given more sparkle and snap over the
leads my hi-fi dealer made for me. I think what is really nice is the
fact I can use your leads throughout the system without them colouring
the sound in any way. I'll let you know the results of the break in.
I'm happy with the over all sound, it wasn't bad before as the leads I
was using are very very good, but your leads have given the system a
new level of musicality and attack it didn't have before, really really
cool!"
"I will wait for a while for the speaker cables, if they are are
anything like as good as your Ic's it will be worth the wait. I'm
amazed how much the Ic's have changed in their performance over the
last few days. They are settling down quite nicely and I've noticed
that the leads are becoming inaudible. I have never had such a
transparent link between my hi-fi components as this. I can hear the
twang of a piano string after it's been struck by the hammer. I can
hear the bass guitar so clearly, it's like it's being played right in
front of me. It doesn't matter which cd, dvd or sky channel is on.
Everything that comes out of my speakers is very clear, very detailed,
and very addictive! The gold layer over the pure silver in the Ic's
really works. The high frequencies seem to be unhindered by anything
else that may be going on, completely unheard of in systems restricted
buy a budget of any kind. Cymbals sound clean and crisp all the time,
even in the maddest metal guitar rifts, the percussion is crisp without
even a hint of harshness. Your leads have upgraded the sound of my
system to something that (would have cost me) a considerable amount of
money. Thank you."
"All the feedback I have seen so far with regards to your interconnects
features expensive units. People who own more modest setups may,
therefore, not see the benefit in your products. I have a Cambridge
Audio 640C, 640A amplifier and Monitor Audio Silver RS6 speakers, the
latter connected to the amplifier with Black Rhodium AST200x2 Bi-wire.
Replacing the basic Qunex QED interconnects with StraightThru has given
the system a sweetness of treble that I have not experienced on CDs
before and a noticeable improvement in soundstaging."
"I also thought while I'm writing to you it would be appropriate to
give you some feedback regarding your rather excellent audio
interconnects. I have now purchased 4 pairs! I must confess, I was a
little bit sceptical of your claims about these cables but was willing
to take the chance and from reading your positive feedback persuaded me
to take the plunge. To be perfectly honest, I was astounded at the
performance of these cables. Comparing them to a top of the range
interconnect such as the Audioquest diamond which I've been using for
the connection between the DAC and pre-amp and uses solid silver
conductors with air claimed as the dielectric (air being the best
dielectric) and FPC copper RCAs. These interconnects cost in the region
of around £400 to £500 when they were new albeit a few
years ago now. When I switched over to these from using the Audioquest
lapis which also uses solid silver conductors, detail and openness
became apparent. Then I discovered your interconnects. Well, what can I
say? Yours has a high degree of transparency and detail which I've
previously not heard on my system. Another interesting fact about your
interconnects is that they produce a convincing, realistic and
revealing 3 dimensional soundstage, previously only 2 dimensional, with
excellent depth and width. You can actually pinpoint various
instruments in front of you with pin sharp focus and imagery with
sounds appearing to be 'out of the box' in the listening room.
Marvelous! I have been an audiophile enthusiast now for many years, if
you haven't already guessed by now, trying out many tweaks and
upgrades. I have even modified high-end Hi-Fi by replacing inferior
internal components with high grade audio replacement parts such as;
black gate capacitors, Elna silmic, Sanyo os con capacitors, burr
brown opamps and Panasonic's high grade volume pots etc. All of which
made positive steps in the right direction to eliminate component noise
and distortions in CD transports, DACs, Pre-Amp and power amps etc.
Using your interconnects has had the biggest impact to date so far.
Well done!"
My 3 sets of interconnects arrived yesterday (effectively 2 days after
I ordered them on e-bay - fantastic service). I have only burnt them in
for a couple of hours (no remote control for my Rega Jupiter at the
moment so I can't put it on repeat). I couldn't wait for 5 hours to try
them. I was utterly and completely astounded. My system is fairly
modest comprising Rega Jupiter cdp, Acoustic Masterpiece valve pre-amp
("cheap" Air Tight), two Rega Maia power amps biamping Monitor Audio
Silver 8i's. The cables I replaced are Straight Wire Chorus (went from
cdp to pre-amp) and C-hord C-ompany C-obra 2 (from pre-amp to power
amps). Obviously these are not high end cables but are good cables in
their own right. Your cables (which cost less than any of my previous
one's) have completely changed my system from sounding good to sounding
incredible. Effectively I now have a new hi-fi and, just as
importantly, a new cd collection. The transformation is so significant
that I am dragging all my cds out to listen to again. I could spout on
for ages but suffice it to say Dave, the cables have surpassed my
expectations to the degree that I can barely believe. The clincher for
me was when my wife, who has never commented on my hi-fi in the past,
said that the difference is fantastic (and for the first time I didn't
get hassle for wasting money on an "upgrade"). What's going to be like
when the cables are properly burnt in? Your product and service are
outstanding. First class and I wish you all the best."
"Thanks for sending the cables so quickly. I broke the cable in as
instructed with the CD ,and WOW this cable beats my VDH the first
ten fold, i haven't stopped going through my music collection all day
!! I was a bit worried about your claims off beating megga priced
cables, and i have borrowed expensive cables off audio T and have heard
nothing which comes close to yours, so your claims are true. Thanks for
the great communications. after i E bay off all of my VDH and chord
connections i will be back for more."
"I got the balanced connection Saturday and is being burnt in while i
type this!,your delivery is excellent and i like the certificate thing
you do,i am now gathering together all my VDH and chord cables ready to
e bay them off. I have been a cable freak for years ,and all my mains
are silver (connections and right back to fuse box with separate fuse)
but to date your cable has given me the biggest boost in the 'being
there' category. thanks for the best cable i have ever heard, and i
have loaned loads of mega priced cables from top hi fi dealers."
"Many thanks for your excellent product and service including the quick
answer to my question regarding whether the cable was directional.I am
well pleased with your interconnect. I have tried other interconnects,
some more than 4 times the price of your product. But your product has
a quality to it that lets me really relax to the sound they produce and
enjoy my music (which is what its really all about)that was something
the other interconnects did not allow me to do. Keep up the good work.
Many thanks."
"I would like to start this e-mail by saying thank you. In fact I'd
like to say it three more times thank you, thank you and again thank
you. I like rock music, busy, heavy and in your face rock music.
There's only one thing in the world who likes my music more than I do,
and that is your truly amazing cables. I've never heard such separation
of instruments out of my system before, every last note from every
instrument is so precise. Zach Wilde's guitar solo's are now sharp
enough to part the ocean. My best friend owns Siltech interconnects,
he's heard these and is wasting no time in putting his straight onto
ebay and buying yours. With the abundance of extra money that will
generate he can buy more of what's most important to every audiophile.
Music. So thanks again, you've made my week."
"Just thought I would let you know that I have received my cable and
burn-in CD. I hope you will let me indulge you in my opinion of the
cable. I waited with bated breath when the nice postman delivered my
package to me, eager to open the rather small package the cable was
delivered in. I opened up the padded envelope with slightly trembling
fingers and.... was rather underwhelmed. "Blimey" I thought, "is that
it?" Upon first glance it reminded me of the wire you sometimes find
wrapped around an orange crate at Tescos. It was thin, green and twirly
and looked particularly insignificant. So feeling a trifle
anti-climatic, I connected it to my CD player and amp via the rather
nice and solid feeling gold plated phonos, read the instructions for
using the burn-in CD, pressed play and waited until 30 hours of burn-in
time had crawled by. The CD instructions recommends seven hours
which I duly ignored, thinking that the cable would need all the help
it could get. So I turned my amp on, give it a bit of volume and away I
went. "Wow!" My previous cable was a £140 Chord job, which I was
always very fond off. However the StraightThru Interconnect duffed it
in good and proper. Listening to the opening track of the blistering
yet melodic ' A Story In White' CD by Aerogramme, my eyebrows were well
and truly raised. More detail, a far wider soundstage and that
beautiful smooth sound that the valve output stages of all my kit
produces, began to truly waft from my speakers to my appreciative
earholes. Cymbals, the bane of many a Hi Fi reproduction chain, were
clear, sharp and not at all tinny or splashy. Eagerly I selected track
4, Hatred. A lovely piano intro, full of tremolo with a clear
distinction between left and right playing of the notes greeted me.
Tabla drums that before were slightly recessed in the mix with the
Chord, emerged from the speakers with deft presence and good impact
moments later. Marvelous. So onto another CD, a rather nice compilation
of classical classics. The sublime clarinets of Mozart's Concerto in A
Major were singing to me delightfully, full of body and that lovely
slightly nasal tone which the instrument is renown for. Next up was
some Water Music by Handel, alla Hornpipe. Violin strings greeted me
deliciously with cellos not far behind, the tone and timbre not at all
strident or grating, but smooth as a a cashmere covered baby's
bottom. So what next? Thought I would try a bit of Bowie, in the shape
of the rather excellent Heathen album. This can sound a tad bright when
played loudly, but I had no such concerns playing it with the new
StraightThru interconnect in situ. The album was delivered in powerful
and detailed style with not a hint of listener fatigue. I could just go
on and on but I think you get the picture. The StraightThru
Interconnect is a sublime product. Capable of actually improving the
sound of a £9,000 system. And the more I listen to it, the more I
am starting to like the look of it as well. In short, it is a very
worthy addition to my system and one I would unequivocally recommend to
anyone at all interested in high fidelity sound. Well done sir, and
thank you very much."
"Three things have happened to me since I've been an audiophile that
stand out as landmark events. The time I heard the Audio Note On-ga-ku
amplifier, The time I heard the mind blowing Sennheiser Orpheus
electrostatic headphones, and the time I plugged your interconnects
into my turntable and pre amp. That probably says enough. It was and
still is a very startling experience listening to music with your
interconnects in my system. How you did it I don't know. Either
something is wrong with the way other interconnects are made or you
guys are total geniuses and have pushed the boundaries. Soundstage
depth and separation are the best I've heard ever, the treble is so
delicate and detailed and midrange presence reminds me of the classic
Quad ESL's, and the bass is just something else! Incredible performance
I can't fault. I wanted to write a balanced critique, and have
something constructive to say about a performance area that might be
improved. I can't. I'm overwhelmed. You have created something very
special, and thank you sincerely for not charging a grand for it. I'd
have to buy it at that price."
"My previous experience with interconnects includes C-ardas Golden
Reference (£900/metre pair), K-imber KCAG (£450/m pair),
C-hord Signature (£500/m pair), R-S Audio Duet (palladium/silver!
- $350/m pair), K-imber Select 1030, S-iltech gold/silver hybrids, N-VA
Sound Pipes, N-ordost Quattro Fils / SBM / Red Dawn & Blue Heaven
.... and a load of others that don't spring to mind at the
moment! So, I'm a bit of a Cable-Nut. Yours are the most
articulate cables I have ever heard. E.g. Some fuzzy sounding
vocals that I have only been able to decipher with the help of the
words provided in the CD booklet, I can now - to my astonishment - hear
quite clearly. This seems to be without any undue brightness or
etch in your cables. Yours have quite the most delicate and detailed
treble I have heard. In fact they remind me of the superb
Beryllium tweeter as used by JM-Lab/Focal in their top of the line
Utopia speakers. Dynamics are excellent - there is real "snap",
presence & immediacy to the sound. Soundstage focus is
excellent. Soundstage height is superbly portrayed - quite
startling - the best I've heard. Nice rich tonal colouring. Your
cables do not achieve their startling transparency by thinning out the
midrange, like for example Nordost cables or Chord Signature. Another
exceptional aspect of the cables is their left-to-right &
front-to-back precision. Performers are more separated than I
have heard before - a much more well-defined sound, with performers
better separated from the recording acoustic, but very naturally
integrated with it too. Very impressive, especially on large
scale orchestral recordings. The cables have very natural dynamics too,
there is an ease to higher dynamic levels that I haven't heard before.
Overall, yours are the best cables I have heard to-date (and I've heard
many costing up to 10x as much). And I fully expect them to get
better with a couple of weeks more use. So, WELL DONE !!! - a great
interconnect - I'll be back for more."
"Look mate what's going on? I recently had some Solid Silver Litz Braid
interconnects (4 conductors with Eichmann Silver Bullets attached) made
for me. Not cheap!! Now that dam interconnect I won through your Ebay
auction has just embarrassed them to the point where I just don't want
to plug them back in. The detail and separation is just MIND BLOWING.
Cymbals have never sounded so good, vocals are FANTASTIC and the bass
is ridiculous! It sounds like I have upgraded more than just my
interconnect. Well done Straightthru, the statement you make in your
Ebay listing couldn't be more exact! Good luck for the future (not that
you need it)! Now comes the bit I am not happy about-having to purchase
two more of your fine interconnects."

Refund policy
|
We
accept that our cables are not suited to some systems. We won't
quibble with you if you're not impressed by what you hear. In the event
of the utterly unimaginable, however, we are extremely
grateful to clients who let us know as many details as possible about
their listening room
and what components are in use so we can evaluate the
situation for future reference. We appreciate this takes time and
people lead busy lives, so would impress that we are always happy to
provide a no-questions-asked refund.
If a refund is requested, we return 100% of what was paid to us - this
includes postage - but don't refund the cost of returning the products
to us. We feel this could invite casual evaluation from curious people
who
have, for whatever reason, no intention of purchasing our cables.
Thanks for understanding.
