Nah, thats just a malicious rumor handed out by those who have never met Americans. Seriously though some of the best times and most genuine people I have had and met have been in the good old US of A!

No, it's not a malicious rumor handed out by those who have never met Americans. It's carefully crafted AMERICAN propaganda. Dude, soon as people know you're nice, they start taking advantage. So ixnay on the indkay ordsway. Okay?

We have a saying in Britain and its called "cooking on gas"! Which basically means the person is red hot, of the moment and fully connected! Why do I say this? I think our friend Frank is one of those!
Check this other cable he showed me out, I would have loved it only it is too big to used with the balanced connector needed for my SR71-B, it's the eight wire silver poison, Man, I have to get a balanced home amp sometime

Like I said before, Frank could turn this stuff into jewellery for Audiophiles

And a close-up

wow ! no way! 
 last night i was thinking about an 8 wire silver poison cable, thinking when i get the cable i would try to get an 8 wire version. Also it looks really damn nice. How much!?
 
 
oh and i lived in london my whole life and i never heard the saying "cooking on gas".

Give Frank a call as see how much, it looks amazing and if I had a home amp I would have gone for it!

I think Cooking on Gas is more a Northern thing!

To confirm, YES, we Canadians do also "cook WITH gas" too when things are really going well.

 

[ianmedium]

Ah, well that must be an eastern Canada thing then as I have not heard it here in BC in the 13 years I have lived here.

Grew up in Sask and definitely heard "now we're cooking with gas" .

Then I moved to the US (via South East Asia) where I frequently heard "now your cooking gives me gas".

 

[HK_sends]

"I've got gas, LOTS of gas!" 
So, keep a reasonable distance...

 
Cheers!

It's because they're so carbon footprint conscience out in BC, cooking with gas is frowned upon.

Yes, but "Now we're cooking with a combination of solar power, metabolic body heat, and thermal energy recovered from the compost heap by an environmentally sustainable heat pump..." doesn't quite roll off the tongue.
