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

The Conductor has lost its edge to newer rivals

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

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

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

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

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