I really hate to start that little debate here, but Ratshack gold series are a lot better than people give it credit for. There are a couple other cables that "bond" the pairs (Grado Signature Series) but looking through some sponsor's sites they appear to be a really rare beast after all.
It's sort of a moot point now anyways considering they don't make them anymore, having sold their soul to Monster
Still strikes me as a little odd. If the connectors have to be separated (guessing they might if it's literally two C2C boards in the chassis) identical right/left sections might be more natural than center symmetry, but it'll probably be a little ackward no matter what the final details are.
btw, I'd love it if the unit came with a remote meeting their previous standards. It's a lot more than I expected considering some of the absolute crap I've seen with some really expensive pre-processors/receivers.
Wish I could afford $1K right now. I really wondering what the final price will be after the promo period, on paper it looks like it might be competing with SS amps way above this price range.
(By the way, what is the unit on those drawings? 250mm is ~9" which seems a little small for the width of the front panel (unless the pictures of the C2C/Compass make it seem a lot bigger than it really is), 235cm would be about 7 feet long.)
