for the NES-3002

After breaking in the VH Audio silver IC's it was time to find a set of speaker cables that would complete the system. I contacted Chris at VH audio and told him what the sound was lacking or what the sound had too much of, so we could play taylor. We finalily decided tha the Neotec NES-3002 was the right choice (for my system). These cables is able to deliver grain free mid and highs with no glare, for intance trumpets are tamed, cymbals have a sweet ring while still being able to hear the tap the stick makes when the cymbal is struck. Gitars are flushed out with full body. The strong suite for these cables are the bottom end, bass detail is uncanny, obals, chelos you name it, contain texture and weight as if it was a live recording. Sound stage was also inproved with more air around the instruments and depth.

Product Weakness:	Large .92%22 cable, a lot of wires to strip for DIY connections, best used w/Furutech OCC spade #FP-201g
Product Strengths:	Grain free Highs, Jaw droping lows, Lip smacking mids.
