Are you using DH Labs?

I recently proclaimed my love for DH Labs in another thread (https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/dh-labs-silversonic), but wondering who else uses them here on the forum. If you use their cables, which ones do you use? No need to go into detail, just curious which ones people have.

I give highest marks to Parts Connexion/DH Labs Connex BL-Ag bulk IC balanced wires and to DH Labs silver headshell leads.  It's all you'll ever need, well above the entry level, and all I need.

They retail for around $50 per set.  I can't seem to get the URL to stick to this post, but the headshell leads are on their web site.

@thiefoflight  With the Connex/DH Labs BL-Ag bulk wire I use KLEI solid silver RCAs and Neutrik XLRs.  I have a hankering to try some boutique XLRs with this wire, but have not gotten around to it.  My thought is that to obtain top performance from a fancy XLR plug, it would be a good idea to also upgrade the panel-mounted XLRs in the chassis-- which is a PITA. 

 BL-Ag wire also makes a good low-capacitance phono IC.
