Hi,
i tried the original from Krell and also from Marcuscables. I also bought Transparent Audio's version and that was the key for me.
A former Agoner, Branimir (maybe he is still around!?), also bought very expensive from Siltech among others.
He does demo a lot of really expensive gear and i found him very correct in his judgements.
He also reported the best he had demoed was Transparent's versions. Siltech versions was thinner all over he told me.
I don't remember what more he went through, but i recall he told me TA was the best of them all.
Of the one's i did try in person, Transparent's was clearly best. Without going in to deep in to it, they were smooth and offered good sense body and weight. No loss of resolution or low extension. I really did not notice any downsides in my systems and never felt a need for a typical balanced IC. My system was first 600c and KPS 25sc, changed to 700cx and KCT and the 28c. If i bought Krell again, i would opt for them.
