Possible Silver IC's to accompany my Skogrand Marrkarian 421 sp cables?

@farfignygen, 
I've only gotten as high up the product ladder with some Truth II ICs that were on sale in the specials section and they were a step up from the Ascensions which were a step up from the Silver series. I'd love to hear what Tony and Bill did with the Enlightenment series but I have to wait on that one.

Those two guys have some of the best ears in the business. I recently broke one Ascension IC (ouch!) trying to remove it at an awkward angle so I'll be looking for a new set soon. It's amazing just how small a gauge of wire they use. It looks to be thiner than a strand of human hair. Most of the cost is in the construction of the cable with the care of assembly very time consuming. Nothing off the shelf with these cables. 

You'll notice just how small the barrel is: practically no mass save for what's needed to grip the RCA input and that's about it. 

All they do is refine, build and test. They never seem to be satisfied with the results. 😄👍 I trust you'll like what you hear.

All the best,
Nonoise

Now I'm intrigued by Audioquest Fire....any thoughts on how they might compare to the Chord Super Array Sarum T's or the Inakustic NF 2404's?

I highly recommend Albedo cables.
They hail from Poland and manufacture their own silver in-house.
They have a wide range to suit your budget.
I am personally using their Monolith Reference range of speaker cables and RCA. They will never be put up for sale as I am keeping them.

Interested in this topic. Keep us posted !!

Well...it's gonna be a few months now before I do any kind of 'shoot out'....I just won an auction on Audiogon for a top flight Power Cord. (Really didn't think I'd get it, but....it completes my power cable needs....so there you go).
