The sound of my HG silver lace IC's are anything but thin and brittle in my system. I bought my first pair 4 years ago...gave the front end, integrated and IC's to my Dad...Bought completely different equipment yet still stuck with the silver laces and am now on my second pair.
I wish their speaker cable was less expensive but...oh well...can't win em all...even in diy form it doesn't seem like there are much savings after doing the math.
Like Michael says...the resale value is also pretty good so if you don't find what you need here on the Gon...you really don't have to spend much to get a new pair compared to many other IC's...and I like the fact that the owner of the company is one of those "little guys" and is really a nice guy after talking with him on the phone.
I have no affiliation with the company whatsoever...and am actually a proponent of buying used in many cases...but with a value like this...I don't mind supporting this sector of the industry on the retail level, because if these guys go out of business...then who knows what we'll be paying for high end stuff in the future.
