WOW i love cables with the clear pvc tubing and then some intricate design on the inside. I think it looks a lot cleaner than just a normal 3-5 wire braid.

How hard was it to get the teflon and pvc "around" the cable?

I would think you could get it through by dropping a rope through and tieing it to the cable or using a cable snake to make it easier... unless you could easily drop the cable through

take a look at Neutrik plugs. You can get some very nice sub $2 RCA plugs
Thanks for the advice. I'm gonna go with the Neutrik NYS352G and find a decent weller.

Just tape the ends and then slide it thru. Teflon is slippery, so it goes real easy inside the tube. the silverwire is pretty easy also to get into the teflon tubing, just take it slow so you dont kink it.

HGA 4N Silver VS Germany Silver/Gold

The HGA 4N silver after burn was very neutral and transparent with a wide soundstage. Smooth highs, a little recessed mids [probably due to my Super.fi 5EBs] and very good lean bass.

The Germany silver/gold is similar to the HGA silver but it is coloured. Main differences were that the overall sound is richer. The highs were about the same, the mids were more forward then the HGA 4N and currently the bass extends a little deeper too. Whats most impressive is the AWESOME sound stage.

Its a good buy even though it was expensive.
