I have never heard these sorry to say.

Were the reviews back when they were new as good? I honestly wonder or do we just long for the comfort and nostalgia of days and products passed?

Thanks for the link. I had not read it before. I even posted a reply, two years late!

It's hard to believe but it's been 12 years since this:

I read it again, with interest, but it left me with one question: What is Zilch wire??

Was it the suggestion for combining pairs of CAT 5?

Yes, that's it exactly. He actually sent me some that he had woven by hand. He was a genuine enthusiast!

The Zilch wire was a good idea

It was essential a poor mans Kimber speaker cable diy style.

So, how many CAT5 wires was he combining for each leg? :dont-know:

[Ian Mackenzie]

I don’t recall...that was a long time ago.

I think 5 solid wire cores for each conductor would be enough for a horn
