Thanks

I also want to make note that my last statement was in no way shilling. I was just establishing credibility to the comment I made.
Zman,

Even though I already knew you produced cables very similar to Paul's, I didn't take it as shilling.

Now that you mention it, I have recently upgraded a few components up-stream. The only real constant (if you check out my system) has been my speakers and cabling. It's these items that have 300+ hours, everything else considerably less. Sorry to get off topic.

More to the point: A friend owns Eric's Katz Meow, and if it's any indication of the Lore (8inch driver vs 10inch driver), then I'm certain you wouldn't be disappointed with it.

The Q cable I am using is similar to 4TC, in that it is a twisted configuration, but transcends it because it is a type 2 litz which means it is a "twist of a twist." Not only is it effective as shelf shielding, but it completely eliminates skin and proximity effect. It is evident by how nothing sounds rolled off. I testify to you that this is a world class cable. 4tc is not. This is a case where you really have to forget the reviews and magazine ads and try for yourself. If you research what works best with SET and low powered setups, it is frequently Litz or just look at what Tommy Horning puts in his amazing Horn Hybrid speakers – silk cut Litz.

Just a thought, if I was to go with solid core, I would be much more apt to go w/ Zman's design over Speltz. Reason: he go's the extra mile with the Cryo treating and twisting it. Speltz is just a solid core wire – nothing to it really.
