HT Pro Silway II vs. HT Truthlink

I love my Pro Silways II XLR and Pro 9's. The Pro Silways give you a better balance with thier hybrid design.

Enjoy

The Pro Silway II's are excellent and are a notch above the TruthLink in my system. I do like the smoothness of the TruthLink on my turntable but the Silway gives the ultimate in detail and resolution. I do not experience the lack of bass or brightness that some have mentioned so the decision is system dependant. I see the Silway's selling between $200 and $250 here on Gon so it should be easy to test. I am so glad that I tried the Silway so that I could experience was my system could do. Dale

I have many Acoustic Zen and Harmonic Tech cables. The differences are subtle and system dependent. By that I mean if you had the chance to audition both company's top of the line interconnects, you would find them both to be excellent. It depends upon the rest of your system.

I've owned/sold all the gear you just mentioned, and of course you might have to try to find out you're self, to really find out. But I must agree that the Pro Silway Mk II is ultimately "bright!" Iv'e tried em on a lot of different gear/speakers, and they're ultimately "fatiguing and zippy"...othere wise high rez. The Truth Links are decsent, but not spectacular. They're a good mid/hi entry cable, but are in the league of Cardas 5c/Cross, Audio Quest Python, Nordos entry level, etc. (But they're at least listenable compared to the silway's, which might work excellent if you biamped, and used em on the bottom ONLY!!!) You might want to consider the Acoustic Zen stuff, by the same guy who made the Harmonic line origianaly (excellent...expecially the Ref Silver), Cardas Golden Cross of Ret, etc.
As for you're HT Pro 9 speaker wires, they're actually pretty darn good!..I'd stay with those just fine.Good luck

I have ProSilway's in my system and they sound excellent, very natural, spacious and not bright at all. I've heard the Acoustic Zen line designed by Mr Lee who left Harm Tech is even better.

Don't skimp on interconnect

Try the Magic interconnects by H. Tech. They have every quality you desire in abundance. If they are too pricey, wait for them at Audiogon.

I too owned & used both these cables & found the truthlinks to be smoother overall but rolled off in the higher freqs. The Pro-Silways did indeed add more detail with extended freq. response but were too bright in my system. Nothing else was changed at the time. I wound up going with Stealth FLR & CWS after these & have been pleased.

I have owned both cables and in my system the Pro Silways did the upper end fantastically well, very very detailed yet smooth and nonfatiguing in a way that was not exactly like, but analogous to, switching from digital to vinyl, my ears and whole head just went ahhh... Unfortunately there was also a loss of bass tightness in my system. I have small monitor speakers and I cannot afford to lose any bass slam so I went with the Truthlinks which don't really do anything exciting as far as I'm concerned but work for me precisely because they don't do anything negative either. I'm still looking for an interconnect with that awesome treble from the Pro Silway and the slam and richness of the Truthlinks...
