Neil, i did upgrade to the black snaic's, the improvement was worthwhile for me as i managed to sell the grey snaics for £35 each !!!, and bought blacks for £50 each.
True Andrew, i sold all my grey snaics about a year ago. At the time i was just going to experiment with a few (make my own rca to din interconnect), but i thought i've got nothing to lose so i advertised them in the Loot.
To be honest i never imagined anyone would buy them (you just don't need 5 of these things in one go).
I did prompt the guy who bought a few times as to why he wanted them, but he did'nt really answer, so i used an old jedi mind trick (kept quite and took the cash), saying that everyone seems to be trying the same trick but the average price in the Loot is £25.
On the subject of SNAICs, is there way of telling the directionality other than the white strip? I have a very old SNAIC and the white strip had slipped so far that it was in the middle (This occurred when the SNAIC was disconnected for moving house).

I had the same problem on an old grey snaic, to put it simply you'll know when its pointing the correct direction (in my experience its bring a further increase in dynamics, in contrast a cable in the wrong direction which tends to glaze over the detail a little and supresses some of the dynamics).
Perhaps the bloke who needed them had acquired some boxes in a hurry, but didn't have time to get all the leads as the alarms were ringing and there were sirens in the distance.
Probably just me being paranoid.
