Stereovox cables, anyone?

I am really curious about these cables both the SEI-600 ic and LSP-600 speaker cables. I haven't heard from many users other than their HDXD digital cable which is supposedly a great value, small wonder coming from the designer of Kimber's Illuminati D-60 which I still use and found a great value.

Both the above cables are quite pricey but Todd Warnke did a great review of both and found them to be so uniquely special in that they allow the music to come through without seemingly imparting a signature of their own. I am only aware of a few folks that are familiar with these cables and they all put them right up there with the special products found in our hobby.

Can anyone out there comment and offer their impressions compared to similiarly priced cables in a familiar system? Please list others you have compared to and if possible a description of the differences. Thanks all participants in advance.

Thanks to all. I will be auditioning a few pair of the ic's in the upcoming weeks and will keep anyone interested abreast of my impressions. Will

Well I finally got a chance to listen to these cables and I must say I agree with Whitaker 110%!! I first tried one from the The tonal balance, harmonic resolution, placement and overall sense of ease and completeness is on a plane I have never experienced from the numerous cables I've tried although neither are they quite as expensive either. The Stereovox are well worth the money in a well put together system and count them as an example of an essential component like an amp or pre-amp.

They made a significantlly greater improvement than any component I have inserted in my system over the past two years. I'm going to be suffering major withdrawl now that they're gone.

I didn't complete the last post when it got sent. I had 2 pair. I first tried from the DAC to the pre-amp and noticed an immediate improvement. I then went from the output of the pre-amp to the BAM of the Merlin VSM speakers and it improved further. I can't imagine a whole system with the ic's and the speaker cables but I'm going to be spending a lot of time trying!
