Information on Empirical Audio IC cables

During my cable quest I have auditioned those cables also.
I liked them a lot, but eventually found them too lean in the mid range and bass region. But they have a very nice transparency and are not too expensive. You get what you pay for. For a medium high end system, these are an excellent match, but I would not recommend them for Martin Logan Prodigy, which need cables which offer a certain weight in the bass region.

Sonic genius, I think I did not slam my competition.
First of all I have auditioned the Empirical Audio cables a long time before I even knew of the existence of HMS and what I posted here were the same exact findings I emailed Empirical Audio when asked why I am returning the cables.
Although I sell HMS, I am entiteld to an opinon derived at at time when I had nothing to do with HMS.
And I did not slam the cables. I feel these are wonderful cables, just not heavy enough in bass, needed to control the woofer section of the ML Prodigy, which is not an easy woofer to drive. But I think this was more an issue of the ML speakers than of the cables.
I can see many system and great speakers, where these cables would do a wonderful job and in reard of transparency and mid range purity, as well as transient attack, they came quite close to the Valhalla, if you ask me. So they are well worth for an audition.
