Your way out of context and have quoted only parts of my posts without carefully reading the entire thing. I sell cables for a living , just out of interest what do you do. looks like you have plenty of time to nit pick other peoples posts and advice, there are some goods cables out there for very little money. I cannnot stress enough that cabling is more important than you think, why keep on upgrading your gear and never being satisfied with it when the underlying problem is that you are missing out on some of the detail from having cabling that could be better.
Yes I believe that cat 5 can sound ok but what I'm saying is that when you go searching and trying other cables off hte shelf that you will go to new heights, and hear alot more muical information, here are some of the reviews of our New zealand made cables -
“The bottom-end goes to Australia. But, the Slinkylinks take each note by the balls saying I am in control, you go down, but with clean, taught, dynamic clout, and slam......Did I mention the awesome dynamics?”

“I literally had my mouth agape listening today - the extra detail, the immensity of the soundstage and imaging, the sheer improvement in PR&T - I was overcome, I was 90% "there" live.”

“I'm not sure what I was expecting (maybe no difference) but I wasn't prepared for the HUGE difference they made. Bass was fuller and more extended; clarity and detail vastly improved; likewise for the soundstage”

“I'm mixing a Latin jazz/lounge music album at the moment and the mixes sound very tight, very clean, sizzle in the high end and have a nice smooth warm low end.”

“I often get dragged into listening, unable to tear myself away and thinking how amazing it sounds. It just seems to float out of the air and envelope me in subtle, intricate detail and clarity. Now every time I play music I have that warm glow of satisfaction with the sound.”

“Kathy & I have just spent a couple of hours listening to Angela Georghiou
(Soprano) and Jacques Loussier on guitar and the sounds are amazing - the fullness, clarity is magical. Thanks for the upgrade - we can't believe the difference!”
- Alan Irvine
“They're just so involving and detailed with a smooth sense of ease yet dynamic at the same time. Never do they sound harsh or bright and the bass has exactly the right amount of heft, weight, definition and extension.”

“I just want to tell you that I've purchased your cables, both, speaker and interconnects, in the way I usually don't do - without any listening. I really like your cables and they sound really great on my system.”

“I've just bought some interconnects from Audio42 (much thanks to Adam) in the UK - just thought I'd send you guys a note to say they are absolutely cracking. Well done on a great product (using with Densen), consigning my Nordost's to e-bay! Cheers.
- Steve
“Yes very nice! I run a music night once a month and I used them from the Marrantz new SA11 CD player into their mono blocks into Proac 3.8's via your Bi-wire cables. Lovely timing and detail with no loss of warmth and low bass.
Thanks for these David.”
- Shane Taylor
“They sound so good…"Best cables I have ever heard”. I own a pair of Electrostatics and I can hear the train going past the recording studio when I play my favourite album”
- Chris O'Shea
“this cable is the best I have ever heard. Bear in mind I replaced the Slinkylinks over a high end Kimber. No comparison.Huge improvement in the mid range......huge.”
- Graham
“Audio CD's, oh my god, it sounds like I have 50% better quality in sound.”
- Jay

- John Pell – Bass Nation

“Initially the Slinkylinks were noticeably different but it didn't take me long to realise that this was because the sound was so clean; confirmed after reverting back to the old system.”
- Kevin Leong

“The difference in sound quality, after enabling Slinkylinks, was immediate and quite incredible - it sounded like a "new" stereo”
- Tom Farkas

“Slinkylinks are the first investment any serious audiophile should make
when considering a system upgrade..... Polaroid's for your ears”
- Rob Lapsley

“The clarity of the music is maintained and you hear strings, and bells so clear sometimes it's all a bit startling and you can forget that you are not listening to the real thing.”
- Peter J Irwin

“With Slinkylinks added to my stereo I felt the performance of the stereo especially the frequency range and quality of response was closer to what I would expect in a live environment than I have ever experienced with a stereo.”
