Consider VH Audio Pulsar Ag ICs or Silver Audio Appassionata ICs - both ICs are reference quality, in your "budget" and constructed by craftsman who are true audiophiles. No relationship with either Chris VenHaus or Max Kreifeldt except a satisfied customer.
Non-edgy Shielded Silver IC Recommendation
A friend loaned me his older silver ICs. I had never used silver ICs before because I thought they might sound edgy and grainy. I was nicely surprised!
So I am thinking to replace my ICs with silver ones. Currently, I have 1m single-ended JPS Superconductor FX3 between CDP and preamp, and 1m balanced JPS Superconductor FX3 between preamp and power amp. I also have a pair of 12ft JPS Superconductor+ Petite speaker cable.
I'd like to keep the speaker cable and change the ICs to silver ones. Can you make a recommendation for me? Thanks.
