Okay, thanks Mantis. But you raised another interesting point. You found the KCI Silkworm interconnect more enjoyable than the JPS Superconductor 3 ic. Then, you found the Aluminata ic better by a large margin over the Silkworm ic. I previously owned the Aluminata ic, but now live with the KCI Silkworm+ ic---both, in my opinion, superb. But for me the Silkworm+ outdoes the Aluminata in musicality. Ye old "different strokes for different folks" scenario.
