These are very well made ICs which I preferred over Kimber, Cardas, Morrow, and Harmonic Technology. Clear, organic, well balanced, full-bodied sound. For anyone who requires longer ICs, these are a must try. Or perhaps have me send these back to Joe to remanufacture into two or three pairs to wire your whole system. He does a terrific job of making these and is wonderful to deal with. At this price you can't go wrong.
The wires are a mix of silver and copper (not plated, but an alloy) and provide the best qualities of both metals. These are the only silver-based ICs which sound natural to me. They really are terrific wires!

Try them and you'll see (hear and agree)!
