Review of HGA Silver Lace cables

SD thanks to you and Trelja for bringing these great ICs to our attention. After some research I was trying to find the "mystery" reference high detail ICs that author refers to and are not listed in his associated equipment. 9 months ago this author reviewed the Marsh amp and he was using HT ProSilway II. I own PS II and have commented in the HG Silver Lace threads here before that I felt SL was as equal to PS II at less than 1/2 the price making it a performance/value champ. So I agree fully with the resullts this author has presented.

Needless to say my SL were not returned after 30 day trail.

I would like to give some additional insight when directly comparing HT ProSilway II (which I think was authors refernce silver IC) and HG Silver Lace. I think PS II is just "slightly" more resolving of fine detail, however the SL is slightly smoother/fuller sounding vs PS II. This just relatively speaking as both ICs are very detailed, and both are balanced and smooth sounding. I think if you have nuetral SS system you may prefer HG SL, and if you system leans towards the warm side you may prefer HT PS II. The
huge price advantage offered by HG SL may make any other considerations secondary, as SL are less than 1/2 the price
of PS II.
