Anyone tried the 29ga. 5n Pure Silver wire?

Or the new(er) gold allow wire in teflon being sold here by Ohmygodverizonnet? Supposedly they are cryo-treated, too.

I need some new cables for phono, digital and speaker. The price is definetly attractive, but aound and quality are a question. They have premade IC's, too.

Hopefully someone around here has given them a good tryout.

System:
1.Parallel, non-oversampling, TD154A DAC w/ SE tube output stage
2. Toshiba 3950 cd/dvd transport
3. Scheu Premier mkII TT, Scheu Tacco tonearm,
4. ZYX Fuji FS/Grado Statement/Cartridge Man MM3/Denon DL-103D
5. S&B TX-102 mkIII transformer volume controls
6.Welborne DRD 300B mono's w/ TJ Meshplates
7. Poindexter fully balanced/differential PP 7591A pentode amp
8. Hammer Dynamics Super-12 12" fullrangers w/ supertweeter >10kHz

Now that I have monoblocks, I'd like to place them behind my speakers and use long IC's. From my new rack location to the farthest speakers is ~18-20ft. including extra slack in the line.

The balanced PP amp and balanced TVC make that easier, but i was wondering how long I can go with single-ended IC's to the Welbornes?

For long ICs, the home brew cable might not work well. Proper shielding needed. Aside from that, 29ga is too thin for this application. Personally, I wouldn't use anything longer than 6 ft for single-ended ICs.
As far as purity claim and cryo claim, it is questionable.
If it doesn't sound good, it may not be your fault.
