Spectron Remote Sense any good?

Has anyone had any experience, good or bad, with the Remote Sense speaker cables from Spectron? I'd like to upgrade my old cables and want a good match. My system: Sony SCD777ES (Mods by Kern) -> FSPDmkII -> Spectron MII -> VonSchweikert VR-5. I'm basically pretty happy with the sound but my obsessive audionervosa syndrome is, as usual, running unchecked.

If you have other recommendations for any other speaker cable, interconnects, power cords or conditioners, that may have synergy with my system, please feel free to offer your suggestions.

Thanks in advance for any input.

I found that the Spectron version wasn't to my liking and sort of flat sounding. I had a pair built by Dareen at DH Labs. He used the Q-10 cable and the speakon connectors of the same quality as Spectron. I must say that these were far better sounding and increased the soundstage tremendously. The only thing I had to do was to remove the cover of the Musician and tell him the color code for the sensing of each channel. I'm much happier with the DH Lab cables over the others. I hope this helps..............

Zenieth, Thanks for the input. But I am curious, which standard speaker cables you have compared to the remote sense cables? And, why you think they are better?

I found the amp to sound much better with heavy-gauge Goertz or Analysis Plus than it does with the sense cable. To be fair though, you have to give the sense cable time to "burn in".
