Anyone tried the 29ga. 5n Pure Silver wire?

Or the new(er) gold allow wire in teflon being sold here by Ohmygodverizonnet? Supposedly they are cryo-treated, too.

I need some new cables for phono, digital and speaker. The price is definetly attractive, but aound and quality are a question. They have premade IC's, too.

Hopefully someone around here has given them a good tryout.

System:
1.Parallel, non-oversampling, TD154A DAC w/ SE tube output stage
2. Toshiba 3950 cd/dvd transport
3. Scheu Premier mkII TT, Scheu Tacco tonearm,
4. ZYX Fuji FS/Grado Statement/Cartridge Man MM3/Denon DL-103D
5. S&B TX-102 mkIII transformer volume controls
6.Welborne DRD 300B mono's w/ TJ Meshplates
7. Poindexter fully balanced/differential PP 7591A pentode amp
8. Hammer Dynamics Super-12 12" fullrangers w/ supertweeter >10kHz

Now that I have monoblocks, I'd like to place them behind my speakers and use long IC's. From my new rack location to the farthest speakers is ~18-20ft. including extra slack in the line.

The balanced PP amp and balanced TVC make that easier, but i was wondering how long I can go with single-ended IC's to the Welbornes?

Hi Chang,

Thanks for the advice. I was pretty sceptical and unless there were a lot of people around here who had used these guys stuff with great results, I'll look elsewhere.

Now that I have added vinyl to my system, I need to move my entire rack away from the speakers and next to my listening position. That is actually ~30ft(of cable) away. I'm adding stereo subs and that will play havoc with the turntable at the current position.

I may have to get some balanced to single-ended line driver transformers to place them at the inputs of the SET amps so I can use long XLR connects. I can experiment with setting the TVC preamp to 6dB boost to see if the extra gain is needed.

Or, I may have to add an active tube stage to the TVC. Well, nothing's ever easy in this hobby, is it?
