I don't know how you do it, but it seems like you are the lead on a lot of the latest and greatest. :lol:
Please do keep me informed.
Sezai Saktanbar, Founder of SilverFi Cables, has agreed for me to host an audtion tour of his select cables. Speaker cables will be from his New Black Speaker Cable Series-Selimiye or Saphranbolu. Interconnect cables will be from the Blue and New Purple Series IC's. I am very excited to play a part in introducing these outstanding cables to my fellow members. Currently, Sezai is backlogged with prepaid orders until April 2006. So Mid to Late April the Tour should begin. The website for SilverFi is silverfi.blogspot.com. Anyone interested please chime in or pm me.Marcus....Just wondering....Is this SilverFi Audition Tour still on schedule ? Thanks.
By the way, the Standard Version of the Elixir, Shaman, and Phyrigian ICs have been shipped to Lonewolf for auditon.
Look forward to your comments, Chris.
Thank you Marcus....they arrived today. Nice looking cables...braided design on all, good RCA plugs...and light in weight. |
I'll start listening tonight....simple system...cd player (with volume control), amp, speakers. Then I'll move things around. |
Thanks for the audition tour.... :thumb: |

The Chair Guy/John : Quote I moved this as it seemed commerical-ish...which is all well and good in its rightful place |
Yeah....but its in the Trading Circle... :scratch: ...plus, I've got no more room to buy more stuff....I'm trying to stay outta here. :? :lol: |
I'll post my cable comments in the Critic's Circle when I'm finished.... :thumb: |

Quote In the mean time I'm curious to hear the valuable feedback from Lonewolf. |
Ahh...some feedback. Nice cables !! 8) |
What I have been doing is testing each pair...using it between a cdp and my amp. This way I can hear any difference's. I have the Elixir, the Shaman, and the Phrygian IC's (standard versions). I've used different music... rock...jazz...classical. As you switch between the three, you do hear a difference. Sounds get clearer, more detailed...good bass...lots of space. Right now , I prefer the Phrygian IC's. |
Since I'll have the IC's another week, I'll match them up with more equipement, and compare them to other IC's I have on hand to see how they differ. A few name's VH Audio, Kimber, Zu, Ridge Street Audio. |
So far....a nice product....light in weight....built very well....and from what I read (prices) - a good value, cost wise. :D |
More in a few days....thanks again for running the audition tour here on AudioCircle.... :beer: |

Amp's...Butler 2250, KR Audio AV320. |
Preamp's.....Modwright, Bent. |
Source.....Phillips CD-80, Olive Musica, EA modded Sony 7700, EA modded ECD-1 dac. |
Speakers....Mirage M-3, Omega A8, Cadence Audio Avita. |
Tara speaker cables....Black Sand power cords. |
I have assembled other IC's to compare (5)...will do this over the weekend.....but I like what I hear. 8) |
although all my cables are designed from the same aural perspective, I also try to answer system synergy issues (which i think is very important) coupled with the user's taste/preferences with different IC and SC models such as blue and purple series; standard and markII versions. they are all close relatives and a musiclover may want to try different models according to the ever changing mood. that is more entertaining and complementary for the soul.I agree Sezai. All three IC's of yours are very close in the way they sound. Picking the Shaman was the one that had the best balance in my test system. Your Phrygian IC gave me "too much of a good thing"...but their all very good IC's.

What other ic's were in the comparison Chris?

Okay, so what are the differences between these new offerings? It was easy to keep track of your original triad, but I'm lost now....
How can one tell what's best for their application? Harbouroftears?!?!?!?
For this article, the system listened to for the majority of the time consisted of the exotic ART Emotion Signature loudspeakers from Scotland, the Auditorium 23 speaker cables from Germany, the Fi 2A3 mono amplifiers from the USA, Shindo interconnects from Japan, the Leben RS28CX preamplifier from Japan and the aforementioned USA/Japanese combo of MacBook, HagUsb and Shigaraki DAC connected via a SilverFi digital cable from Turkey.
