For $60 why not just try them? Stu is friendly to deal with, and communication and shipping both happen very quickly.
As for the cables, my impression is they are fast, revealing and detailed. I'm not a cable junkie, so I can't help with comparisons to any expensive ICs. (They replaced AQ Corals.) I don't find them harsh even with my rather modest solid state equipment (Carver AV-705, Sony DVP-NS900, MF A3/24, Dynaudio Audience speakers). (Maybe speakers with a more finely etched high end than the Dynaudios would push them across the line into harsh?)
