Non-edgy Shielded Silver IC Recommendation

It's important to understand that not all silver is bright and all copper or gold is soft. That is an old wives' tale perpetuated here, in magazines, in reviews, and in other audio forums.

Far more important are the purity of the conductor, geometry of the conductor, and the dielectric.

Additionally the components of the system play a substantial role in any cables' "performance".

I could have you sit in front of a system and listen to 6 pairs of interconnects (or speaker cables) and you'd undoubtedly hear a difference among them. However, there's no way you could identify (outside of guessing) the conductor(s) used in each cable.

Have fun.

Thanks all. I have heard that DH Labs Silver Sonics are great cables. But they are not shielded. I am in Silicon Valley and lots of RFIs around.

My JPS ICs are great cables. They are very neutral. But these silver ICs just present high freq. details much better....

HAve to agree with audiofeil on this one. Based on the stealth PC i used got, Id bet the audio magic silver stuff is pretty awesome

there are a lot of well respected cable makers-silver is not an absolute. See

Thanks Audiofeil and Kbuzz. However, I'd like to try silver interconnects. In particular, I'd like to get a pair of 3M balanced shielded interconnects. Also, the price should be below $1K.

Any recommendation?
