Check out the price - and especially the reviews - on these babies: [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/AudioQuest-Signature-Terminated-Speaker-Cable/dp/B00DBY5TL2/ref=sr_1_5?s=receiver-speakers&ie=UTF8&qid=1415273628&sr=1-5"]http://www.amazon.co...15273628&sr=1-5[/url]

To be honest all you need to know is if they are any good for metal!!!!

Well, you know, like, they are made from Nickel, which is kinda a metal, innit? Gotta be.

Well personally, I think this has been a really worthwhile thread as I'm going to nick "Acoustic Science" as the new name for our acoustic duo

Be very careful to fit them the right way round, or you may end up sounding like Nickelback.

Yeah it's physical vapour deposition; very old technology. Used to coat something instead of dipping it in an electrolytic bath. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_vapor_deposition

Sounds better than "New strings. Shiny."

Not convinced by "Acoustic Science". Glow discharge electromagnetic plasma is the same stuff that makes the light inside neon tubes. Happens when you apply the right level of electrical tension at either ends of a gas-filled tube. It's a different way of applying a coating, which may or may not be better than any others.

Not to be confused with Acoustic Silence, which was what we used to hear when my band finished a song.

Seeing as its trademarked i'm assuming Acoustic Science means these guys.

The rest of their time they convert 7 string guitars into 6-ers for blokes with big hands.
