Larry, I have been told by individuals that in my opinion are true audiophiles that the most important (critical) IC is between the DAC and preamp. Thats where I would put the silver lace. When you can afford it, purchase the second silver lace. That will save you from having to sell the entry level IC's at a latter date. (if you can afford to do it that way) (IMHO)!
where to use your best ic s.
I'm in the process of buying my first set of good ic's. I would like to keep the price down. The ic's i have decided on are the homegrown's.I need 2 sets of 1.5 m's. They sell their entry level for $80 and their silver lace for $170. Should i spring for the $169 set Altogether or mix them, or get the cheaper set. Anyone have experience with both lines? is there a difference?
