SILTECH


Is there anybody with experiences regarding the
Siltech SQ-80B?
How would you rate this IC against NORDOST SPM or KIMBER SELECT 1030/1130?

I couldn't complain at all. A very nice cable without any glare on the top end. Bass was deep and possessed definition and tone. Midband was quite nice. I ran this cable on the Sony SCD-1 going into a Blue Circle 3.1 preamp. I also ran it on my Electrocompaniet EMC-1 for eight months. Again, a very nice sounding cable.

I ended up selling her to go entirely with Audio Note~Japan's An-Vz, another s.e. pure silver cable. I have three of these and wanted to keep the system voiced with a single cable. I'm still in need of one more An-Vz, but before I buy the fourth pair, I'm going to give the Stealth PGS pure gold cables a whirl and sell the loser.

Who knows? I may go back to the Dutch cable, but I don't think so. Once you've tried the An-Vz, other silver cables don't seem as interesting.

Other gear: Dodson 217 mkII 'D' DAC, Cary SLAM 100 w/GEC and Tung-Sol power tubes, Dyanaudio Contour 3.0s, PP300 and Kuzma Stabi TT.

Good luck, Chris
