Mixing silver IC with silver/copper speaker cable?
I use Ridge Street MSE interconnects with military surplus, silver plated copper signal transfer wire (Teflon insulated) with excellent results. My speakers are mini monitors with ribbon tweeters & Bybee filters.***

The reason Kevin is coming up with more mods and more selection of 1200 models is simple: he's selling them right and left.It was all a matter of having the first few modded ones out there...now people are comparing them to other so-called 'audiop...
