On a more sensible note, i'd advise leaving it alone, but if like me, you can't resist the tempttion, try some cheap alternatives. 69 strand. linn K20. Various Van Damme etc etc. It's the experimentation that's the fun!! Go for it.
I use string dipped in spit - it has to be camel spit, mind.
It's a bit quiet, but the soundstage goes all the way back to Cairo.
I found a reel of 16mm csa wire in the skip so I used that.
It's 10mm diameter and needs a blowtorch to solder it but it is rated at 90 amps continuous.
Sounds wounderful much more open than naca5.

Did you check the link?But NacA5 is a speaker cable, not an interconnect.
This is based on qed 79 strand not qed 79 strand, he makes his own cables, my 5 pin din is based on Naim 5 pin din selling at 5 times the price, ask most who have compared & 80% can't hear a difference, the other 20% prefer it over the Naim.Funnily enough have just done so and now see what you mean . Back in the day I used to regularly dem 79 strand against Linn K20, A4 and A5 - the 79 strand was easily beaten.
80% couldn't hear a difference from the flashback 5 pin din to the current Naim 5 pin din at 5 times the cost.It does say on the site that it is equivalent to QED 79 strand - he makes the cable up in that he fits plugs to it - he doesn't literally make the cable itself (not that it really matters).
Look, I was one of the people that recommended Flashback to you in the first place so I've no problem with them and use a couple of their interconnects. But in my experience (direct first hand experience) 100% of people had no difficulty hearing that 79 strand was better than 42 strand and thicker cables (they don't have to be from Linn or Naim) were better than 79 strand.
Honestly, this 80% couldn't hear a difference (they need their hearing checking) and the remaining 20% prefered it is rubbish (perhaps if the sample size was three partially deaf people).
