I too have the basic Mapleshade Double Helix cables and am also thrilled with them. I've had them for about a year, and in my system now exclusively for several months. They are very fast, clean, energetic, and very punchy and defined with the strongest deep bass I have heard on my system. The richness of the music makes me smile. The soundstage is a bit less than before, but I think its because the instruments all sound more focused.
The cables might not match well with bright systems, but the high end is very clean and articulate. Pierre says there is no breakin, but I've noticed some mellowing of cables with time (good for my system).
