Has anyone got any? I need to get a longer length than I have on my Chord Odyssey 2, ie I need at least 5.5m for a reroute rather than the 4m pair I have.

Would like to know how this sounds before I take the plunge on anything and put the Odyssey on fleabay.

Cheers.

Re: Atlas Hyper 3.0

Joel,

Can you really hear differences in cables when your speakers are boxed into the corners of the room?

Tried it before I got the qed revelation and odyssey.   Found it to over accentuate the bass frequencys of the range, so was not for me.

Yes of course. I also have nowhere else I can put my speakers.

Well I've just 'won' a 5.5m/4m pair for £102, so we will see.

Let us all know what you think when you have road tested them for a while

Re: Atlas Hyper 3.0

Will do. I've also bought a couple of granite chopping boards and some spike shoes and a sheet of rubber, this is to decouple everything from my Victorian floorboards, so the review won't really be like for like I'm afraid.

Re: Atlas Hyper 3.0

obv system matching comes into it, my bass is anything but what you've described.

The reviews are positive too.

If not I'll sell it on and get something else.

Re: Atlas Hyper 3.0

True, it is also down to the system, so look forward to hearing how it goes.  My system has changed since I tried it, so it may work better now.

Well I got £100 for my Odyssey so no money spent really.

Re: Atlas Hyper 3.0

Do a review for us between the 2, as that would be helpful.  Odyy is an old-ish cable, and the hyper 3 is a bit newer
