Thanks guys. I just read the threads in the archive, but wanted to hear opinion from new owners, if any, with this product. OBTW - I like the shot about paranoia being a determining factor on the Super Silver vs Lace - HAH! My system is about 25k retail; triode (VAC) tubed-based with Silverline Sonatinas. My reference cables for the last 3 years; Magnan type Vi & XLO signature 1.1's.
Just recently I sampled 6 different cables for primarally the XLO. Cardas Cross, JPS Super Conductor, TG Audio, Bear Labs, NBS Monitor IV, and the Super Silver. The JPS and TG Audio were best at benefiting my systems weak points, but the Super Silver is much closer to my sensibilities. While the TG Audio had a dramatic, sweeping effect, the SS was much more delicate (but not soft) and detailed (but not fatiguing).
It really comes down to a preference, and while the TG Audio and JPS were very impressive, the SS were very transparent and musical. Very unHIFI-ISH. Talk about the shimmer on top, the air and decay and the throbbing yet very tight bass. Chorus' were just lovely and someone previously mentioned the way they disembody the music from the speaker enclosures, much like the effect of my Shunyata Hydra PLC. I appreciate the insight. MikE
