VH Audio Symmetry vs Silver Audio Appassionata XLR

Has anyone compared the VH Audio Symmetry, a highly regarded balanced IC, with the balanced version of Silver Audio's Appassionata, another highly regarded IC?

Both Max Kreifeldt and Chris Ven Haus are wonderful craftsman who consistently offer incredible value for the price.

I use Max's Silver Breeze for my analog rig and am very, very pleased. I do use the Ven Haus Ag ICs (XLR and SE) for the rest of my system, but will likely be moving to a pair of balanced tube monoblocks from SE.

I like Ag and find the Silver Audio and VH Audio fit my budget.

Thanks.

Thoughts would be appreciated.

I have the VH Audio Flavor 2 power cable, but haven't tried their XLR. For XLR I use the Speltz Anti-cable XLR. It strikes me as simply not being there, and replaced a PS Audio XLR that was very very good but was just slightly colored compared to the Anti-cable. Depending on the system the PS Audio might have added some welcome warmth (ever so slight).
