I recently bought two pairs of G1000HD interconnects to connect my Linn MajikDS to pre and power amp. I was using the Linn Black interconnects that came in the box to the pre-amp and some Canare LV61S (also from Mark Grant) from pre-amp to power amp. Neither are poor quality by any means.

The sound from the G1000HD is clearer with less bloom, particularly in the bass and there are more subtle details now being revealed throughout. At first I though that all the bass had dissappeared, but it's still there - just better defined. I have a 40Hz room node that my sub is EQ'd for, but not my fronts which can still be a little boomy here when listening to music in stereo without the sub. It's definately taken the edge off this.

I have a couple of familiar tracks that I use to test my system and there is one bit where it is now clear that one sound is actually two separate sounds with a clearly defined overlap. This wasn't audible before, where you could just hear the composite of the two. The sound is somehow 'faster' and more punchy and dynamic, like it isn't being stored and discharged by the cable. The imaging now has real depth to it as well, and more precise focus and clearer separation of individual instruments, presumably due to less phase distortion.

By all means say I'm imaging it - I haven't done an blind test or anything, but then I don't feel I need to. The difference is very obvious and like when I fitted a Dynamik PSU to my MajikDS, or changed to Cara firmware, or bi-amped my fronts I didn't feel the need to go back and listen to it again with the old configuration just to confirm the difference was for real.
