Hello,

Thanks

Opinions differ...

If you search, you will find plenty of them!

I've tried several of Allen's designs and had nothing but improvement over any commercial cable I've tried so far. YMMV of course.

I found interconnects could be improced if one added a 3.3 K (value not critical) resistor at the load end: the sound seemed to be a bit cleaner in the high frequencies. This obviously only works for solid-state stuff, and NOT for phono preamps.

For what it's worth, this was in a high rf noise level environment.
