Have you tried SILCLEAR from Mapleshade?

hi geoffkait:

unless the "treated" pair creates a roundness in the treble frequencies, you will lose the bet.

of course, there is a problem of distance. you are, i believe, located on the west coast, while i live in ny.

my friend used it on his tube sockets. he reported that his system sounded very bright and thin. i have not and will not use it.

i cannot confirm the "break-in" period for the silclear in my friend's system.

however, as a risk taker, i would propose a wager. conduct a blind test using two identical pairs of interconnects, and i would bet that i would discern a brightness, after 100 hours of break-in when auditioning the treated pair.
