Best Silver ICs under 300?

I have tried a lot of interconnect lately and the best I have heard that is reasonably priced is Vantage Audio Silver Marina. 245.00 factory direct. They will send you the cable and let you audition it for 45 days before you decide to either send them the money or the cable back. You can locate them at Vantageaudio.com talk to Richard he is a great guy to work with.

For the past 8 years, (probably longer) I have used Silver Audio (4.0, Hyacinth, and Appassionata) interconnects, I consider them to be very good interconnects and I am happy with them. At a friend’s suggestion, for the heck of it, I demoed the Mapleshade Double Helix interconnect and Digital cable. Although they don’t look like much or cost a fortune, my jaw dropped to the floor. I still need to do another day or two of testing however I am very impressed! The sound is very clean and detailed, starts and stops quickly and really lets the texture of the music through. I am using Cary 2A3 SE monoblocks, or Conrad Johnson Premier 11-A amp, Cary 94 preamp, Bel Canto Dac-1.1, Wadia #20 Transport, Klipsck KLF 30 Tower speakers and Silver Audio Symphony 48 speaker cables. I’m not saying that Mapleshade is the way to go for everyone however it’s something to consider and one has to hear it for themselves to believe it. I hope this is helpful.

BEAR Labs Silver Lightning might be among the best at any
price, IMHO. I am biased, though. There should be a website
going up soon with more info - until then you can email
BEAR Labs:b bearlabs@netzero.net

I second Bean. Am using bearlabs now; I chose them over much more costly stuff (Nordost, Siltech).

What about Audio Magic (http://www.audio-magic.com/mainindex.html)? Although I haven't used them yet myself I have heard great things about them. Also, they have lots of stuff to fit your budget.
