It is hard to guess how IC's react with the equipment. A friend of mine uses siltech gen3 ic's. He has a single-ended[Bruce Armstrong non-pariel preamp]. Magic. He tried them on my pre[also single-ended]. More magic....the best I every heard from just changing ics. I asked him why. He believes siltech really jells with single-ended designs. Why? I don't know why but it's all synergy. Your choice may be just what you need. Wires can drive a person to drink.
Found an interesting way to compare IC cables...
Hi Agoner's,
I found an interesting way to compare IC's that immediately and vividly shows up the difference between different cables.
I was listening to my new pair of Sennheiser HD-580's and thought the sound was "veiled over", so did a quick switch of IC cables and everything immediately openned up. So much for the award winning name brand cables versus the no-name brand :)
Caveat: I realize this does not highlight the exact effects of the different interactions between equipment!
Any thoughts on this as a valid test?
