I have 1 pair of HomeGrown's Silver Lace, 5 pairs of their Super Silvers, and 2 pair of their Silver Solution (office system), and I have been very pleased with all of them. Based on my experience in my own system, I don't think the Silver Lace offers enough improvement over the Super Silver to merit the extra cost. If you want to save some money, and have decent soldering skills, get the Super Silver kit for $60 and try a pair. I don't think there is ANY cable on the market at $60/pr that comes close to the Super Silver.
Silver Cable Question
I've been playing around with the idea of buying some cheap silver interconnects. There are so many companies advertising their products to be competitive with cables that are exponentially more expensive.
Some of these audio bargains are Bear Labs, Homegrown, Norh, Lat International, and a few that I can't recall at the moment.
Now, I have a query and a quagmire. For the people who have experience with any of these silver cables, do they make you feel dumb for spending hundreds more on your old yet inferior cables?
Also, I picked up some Mapleshade interconnects 6 months ago, and they would have sounded great if not for some shielding problems that cause hum in my system. How are the shielding on these cables? They don't look very well insulated.
