    Ben, I bought these a while back before realizing that I don't have an external amp any more ... :eek: ... and my DVD/CD player is hooked up via digital cable for 5.1. Anyway, I've been meaning to try multi-channel audio for a while already, so two questions:

    - These are suitable for 5.1 analog audio connections for SACD or DVD-A, right?
    - Can I order a third pair so that I finally have all six cables for 5.1?!

    Let me know! It would be great if the third pair matched these first two. They seem to be 1m in length. You can answer by PM if you prefer, but I wanted to mention multi-channel audio in case anyone else reading this in the future might be asking themselves the same question.

    Thanks ... :o

    sweetness. i'm all super-excited to receive a product i convinced myself i'd NEVER spend a large amount of money on. but from what ya'll say, they're worth far more than what i did pay so it's all good.

    It is a lot of work, and doesn't play well with some amps. There is no way I could afford to do it with this material. I have contacted Beldon, and I am hoping to get some wire made for me, but I would have to order 10000 feet:eek:

    Just received my pair of ben's silvers today.Nice cables.Immediate impressions on my little system is that it brought out the mid-range a little more to the front.And over-all more balanced, smoother.I'm sure it will continue to improve with burn in.

    Thanks Ben

    I had my Ben's Silver IC in place for a couple of weeks now. The first thing I noticed is how much the crisper they made the RDO194 tweeters. Overtime it seems the mids have gotten tighter.

    All and all a nice upgrade.
