DH Labs Silver Sonic


I'm looking for comments on DH Labs Silver Sonic ICs. How do they stack up to more expensive ICs like Ridge Street, Purist Audio, Kimber, Cardas?

I used to use the Air Matrix interconnects and then the Revelations. The Revelations are better cables in that they sounded a bit more refined to me than the Air Matrix.

As for comparisons, I auditioned the Purist Audio Musaeus and Elementa Advance interconnects as I was looking to upgrade from the Revelations. I ended up staying with the Revelations... I found the low end Purist offerings to sound thick and plodding, with more robust bass but less detail up top. The Revelations are silver cables, so they definitely have more speed and shimmer up top, but they aren't the end-all in bass response. However, though they keep it to a minimum, they still sounded "silvery" to me (not harsh, but very detailed and tipped up towards treble).

If I were in your shoes, I would look into trying the KCI Mandarina. Excellent treble and bass response without sounding thin. And, of course, you get that wonderful tonality in the midrange that only gold can provide...

Hey Mingles,

It's been a long while since I've heard the DH Labs Revelations, and even longer since I've heard the Air Matrix, so my memory of how they sound is a bit faded. But I do recall thinking that the Revelations sound smoother, with more delicate treble than the Air Matrix. That's what I meant by refined...
