    I have a new pair of Focal Elegia ‘phones I got during their recent sale and am just waiting on some new, cool looking balanced cables. It is all about the look as I can not tell any audible difference in cables.

    Shallow Hal.

    Next I shall begin anew saving for the B&W P7 S2 in Blue-ish!
