I was just about to say that. I love it. Take a little effort to learn how to
use it properly, but you will be happy that you did.

For some internal connections (but not patch-cables) I also enjoy using the
GAC-2 Mini (not to be confused with normal GAC-2!), which is 2 isolated wires
+ 1 earthlead wich connects to the Au-foil. Just like a real cable but with
much smaller dimensions and considerably lower weigth. The hard wires makes it
unsuitable for patch-cables, but for fixed installations like inside a box and
some care in planning it can be a very good choice.

Cheers,
Magnus
