Are the IC's no longer available? They don't appear to be on the site any longer.
Just got hold of the IC700's - which are simply fabulous-sounding in my system(between the DAC-9 and Stereo 8.5V3), I might add - from my dealer here in Denmark. I weren't under the impression they were in supply-shortage..
But really, why these interconnects haven't been lauded over more is beyond me. Don't know whether there's a certain synergy at play when in use with NuForce components that would tilt my sonic impressions in particular favor here, but if I had to guess the IC700's may have gone below radar largely because they're too cheap... And I'm not saying they should be sold for more!
My dealer recommended them very warmly(and he's not one to gush lightly), and so I tried them out against my Mundorf Silver/gold 0.5mm IC's - which used to be his reference IC's as well. The IC700 just sounds more
right in my system, and it's immediately noticable. The Mundorf IC's sound disconnected in comparison, pale, and lacking in expression and color over the entire midrange area in particular. The IC700's presentation is more see-through, alive, and cohesive. Very highly recommended they come!
