I have a lot of cables from the last 13 years of hi-fi improvements I need to move on. All in one post at the moment. I will separate out and add photos at a later date. All in excellent condition unless otherwise mentioned. I'm happy to explain why I'm selling them and what I've upgraded to. Each product served me well for a period. Date of purchase in brackets.
