I have, they are at least 50% better .Again , the Shadow connections are the best , WELL worth the extra bucks IF you listen to acoustic music .
Shopping for Interconnects
Now that I am building two, two speaker stereo systems in my home, I will need some more IC's. Here are the pieces of equipment I will be using. Unsure yet about how to pair the amps to speakers but will try both with each pair of speakers to see which sounds best with which pair.
Denon PMA 520 Integrated amp circa 1989
Yamaha A 500 Integrated amp circa 1984
Yamaha S300 CD player. Two years old.
Onkyo TA-RW311 Cassette Deck. circa 1997
Carver TX 11a Tuner. circa 1986
Budge for a pair of IC's is under $100 for each pair. Will likely buy two.
Currently have Audio Art IC3's which are nice. Going to still use them. Also have a pair of Blue Jeans Cable LC-! which I plan to keep.
Any suggestions? Not exactly sure how to shop for cables of this nature since each manufacturer seems to claim different sonic characteristics for each cable.
