What I always loved about the Stealth Indra was the encompassing sound stage that you heard when the music came on. I was quite satisfied that the Indra was at least the equal to the Siltech G5 ics, but they had a speaker wire.
Then on the strong recommendation of a friend, I tried the Cerious Technologies ics and speaker wires. Later I tried their power cords. All of these remain in my system. They also present a convincing soundstage and are quite neutral. Lacking metal, however, they don't have the splash or glare that I hear in metal cables, including the Indra.
I have friends who have tried the Cerious and not like it, but they are impressed with their sound in my system. This all suggest that indeed, everything is system dependent.
I should note that prior to the Indras, I had the previous Stealth PGS 3D interconnect which are gold litz wires. They were not a competitor for the Indras. I do think, like copper and silver, gold has its color.
