Everything depends upon your listening tastes, but I have to say of all the IC's I've tried (up to $600 range), I am happiest with my $90 pure silver Quicksilver IC's. I also used their speaker cables. Very revealing, and not too bright, even with my horn driven La Scala's.
Silver interconnect and Copper spkr wire synergy
Contemplating going with a very nuetral(revealing) silver interconnect...such as the MAS grey or DH Labs b-1(silver coated?)...and then using a low(10) awg copper speaker wire(for low end reproduction)...seems like a good idea "on paper"...or is this a mismatch? ANyone else using silver interconnect/copper wire combos...or copper interconnects with silver wire? Another idea: Discovery NOS and dh labs t-14...
