Please dont fight - another speaker cable thread  Just wondering what you are using, is there a speaker cable that doesn't impart itself, get in the way of the music. Allows the natural textures an timbres to come through as they are |

Allows the natural textures an timbres to come through as they are Rob, As you know, I have had so many cables through here that it's literally been ridiculous at times. As of now, I still have four pairs. Three OCC and one CCC. For the performance you get, and the ease of construction, the SAEC SP-850 is by far the most easily recommendable cable I have had here. Buy from Zenmarket......laugh yourself to sleep at night over the people paying £10k for speaker cable. |

What speaker cable are you using at present, if you've mentioned it before, sorry I've forgotten?
I'm using some OCC from China, much better than the Van Damme Blue I was using previously, so can imagine the CCC will be very good.

I'm using QED Silver Spiral, (which is a whole different cable to silver anniversary, just in case...) Like it and had for donkies years, but might be good to try something like the SAEC 850, one day. |

Oli, do you have a link please for Zenmarket's SAEC SP-850 cable? I tried various searches in Zenmarket but could not find the SP-850.
I'm currently using Tellurium Q Black II in the main system. But occasionally switch around with Chord and Quad cable just for the lolz.

same seller i bought mine from. Just trying to complete an order for 7m. Which courier did you choose Jamie? EMS, UPS, Avia or SAL? Not in a big rush to get the cable, main thing is to try get a trouble free experience at the UK border (hope springs eternal!) |

Use UPs or Fedex Choose "no documentation" & "No Zenmarket Stickers" |

Bit confused with the check out process. Seems that one has to prefund the account. But difficult to ascertain what the weight of the order is to be able to calculate shipping costs to fund. At what stage can I state 'no documentation' and 'no zen stickers'? Years ago I went out with a Japanese lady - believe me I know how things can get confused.  |

You do not need to fund for the shipping to the UK at this stage, just the cost of the item, plus the shipping in Japan etc. The weight calculation is just for an approx cost for shipping to UK to let you know roughly how much you will be charged. Once it gets to the Zen market warehouse they will package it, weigh it and let you know the cost of your preferred shipping method. You can then fund you account for the actual amount needed. It takes a while to get to their warehouse, and then for them to package etc, once it is shipped from Japan everything is much quicker |
