Further Information:
RRP ~$4,000
($700pm cable / $175 per 4 Spades)
I have added some photos of the re-sleeving so you know they are what I claim. The spades are Cardas silver-plated billet copper one-piece spades.
I can supply Cardas spade-to-banana adaptors if you wish. Please pm for details. I have enough that I can supply the entire cable with them if so desired, and will supply at least 4 to use with the Jumpers.
Are you a tried and true lunatic who demands the most absolute performance from their system?
Have you tried separate pre/power, and still thought "what am I, a peasant?" before ordering a pair of enormous Class-A monoblocks to satisfy your megalomaniacal desire to strain the power grid of your local area?
Are you running so much power and so many electronics that the heat signature makes heli-coppers think you're growing the old mary-j, and your current cable is greening out?
Do you not know what OCC means, but Ohno-Continuous Cast just sounds too damn rad to not be awesome?
Well friend, this is the setup for you.

Ok, serious face now;
This stuff is amazing.
I've got quite the soft spot for Atlas' cable, as I appreciate the "salt-of-the-earth" approach to their cable; no fuss, no mess, no snake-oil, just great cable. Think Nordost, but with cheap ranges too.
Ailsa is the shifting point in their range; it's where OCC copper enters the fray, the amount of it is frankly enormous, and it's the top end of their range available by the metre.
While the Hyper range beneath it sounds absolutely stellar (particularly for the price), Ailsa takes the concept of "value" to a completely different level, and lays waste to some far more expensive cable in the process.
Now this exact set has been through a couple of changes over the last year or so, mostly to do with the terminals used, but @Tech161 and I had a bit of a shoot-out between these, a bi-amp set of Hyper 3.5, some Synergistic Research Atmosphere Level 4 bi-wire (worth nearly double...), and two sets of custom cable, on his system (I'm going blank on the speakers, but through a set of Manley Snappers poweramps and McIntosh pre). The results? A unanimous "Ailsa" victory in every department save one, which the Synergistic did perform slightly better (staging detail, depth, and breadth).
Other than this, the Ailsa offered a smoother, more realistic treble character, enormous bass response that still felt controlled and intentional, and a stunning and organic midrange that was the icing on the cake.
SO, if you can get away with very short cable, want something that is both brilliant sounding, a little different, looks better than any other set of Atlas Ailsa you'll likely see, and particularly if you're running very high current, very high power amplification and demand the absolute best; these are very hard to beat...
These will be shipped in a Pelican Vault case as they do not have their own, technically.
Happy to ship Australia wide and largely at my own cost, unless it's going to make the sale redundant.
Please feel free to message if you have any questions.
