ICs with slim RCA Barrels?

@jl35 

Which Audience ICs are you referring to, please? 

@nonoise 

Thanks. Looks like all their ICs are silver. The Jotunheim is a pretty dark-sounding amp so it would probably work out. 

@jl35

Thanks for the clarification.

@nonoise

Thanks for the link. Every little bit of savings helps, especially since I'm also in the process of upgrading ac cables!

@audioman58 , @dynacohum : thanks for your suggestions. 

@gemoody 

Some Schiit designs are hard to reconcile

I agree. Sometimes it seems like they can't make up their minds who their target customer base is. 

@mulveling 

Thanks.

I guess I should've kept those old Cheetahs, after all !  ;o/

I'm going to try Darwins, as recommended by @nonoise 

@bbroussard

Thanks. As mentioned I’ve opted to try Darwin, due to their slender barrels. Got a good deal on a pair used at a show. 

@dseltz

Are those made of wood? If so, I can see how they’d be relatively easy to adapt.

@dseltz 

I asked because I've seen photos of their ICs with rca barrels that t looked like wood. And their DACs are housed in wood. 

@dseltz

Have you heard the Less Loss DAC ? ? ?

It never seems to get mentioned on the forum. 

@dseltz 

I've heard good things about that shop. And Constantin sounds like a terrific resource.
