Deluxe only in name

Balanced, nuanced and easy to listen to, but dynamics are a little subdued

This entry-level wire’s good value

The figure of eight version of Ecosse's barnstorming Big Orange (Mk 2) is pretty much the equal of its sibling, although we'd like a touch less hardne

It's not cheap, but this mains cable is a decent upgrade for your system

The CA1.2 is an able interconnect, but unlike its Award-winning predecessor it can't quite match up to its rivals

Despite its designed rigidity, this lacks in punch, sounding laid back compared to rivals

This HDMI cable serves up a bright, punchy image

Although there's much to admire, the Baton Mk II struggles to combine vocals with instruments

A good upgrade or first 'serious' cable, but you can get more for the same money

The Conductor has lost its edge to newer rivals

The Maestro MA2 may be getting on in years but it remains an appealing buy

A massively detailed cable that reveals subtleties with refinement

This speaker cable has a well separated, detailed sound but lacks in the bottom end

Ecosse's The Big Red SCMKIII lacks the excitement and dynamism of similarly priced leads

Solid performance, but lack of low-light insight does for the Prisma

This mains lead is a mean-looking bit of wire with decent balance and attack

Not cheap, but they will take your listening experience to a new level

Authoritative and detailed, a real all-rounder, but it is 10 percent too pricey

It might lack a bit of excitement, but you’ll never get tired of having it in your system

Fine interconnect for those on a budget, with accurate reproduction and capable detailing.

This is a supremely well-balanced cable that does most things very well
