I am currently breaking in a pair of Silver Lace. Right out of the box (bag) I found them a bit sterile and forward, but as I am slowly getting some hours on them, they are really changing character. I am hearing all kinds of little things in very familiar recordings that I had never heard (or Noticed) before. Bass is solid and tight. Any one who says cables all sound alike is deaf.I still only have about 50 hrs. on them , and the consensus seems to be that they need at least 100.( Kevin from HGA told me the same). Right now I think they are really going to morph into a really great cable,and at the price, you really cant go wrong. Good luck
