Opinions on Silver Audio Hyacinths?


The next upgrade to my system will be the interconnects. "Gut feeling" says to try the Silver Audio Hyacinths (good reviews overall, the price is right and they're returnable just in case). Before going through the hassle of ordering I'd appreciate hearing what others think of them. My current system consists of Hales Revelation 3s, McCormack DNA-1 (Rev. B upgrade), SF Line 1, CAL Alpha/Delta CD. Cables are AP Oval 9s, ICs are Illuminations D-60 and NBS Stinghers. The hoped for effect is better definition and clarity without adding any glare or harshness to the top end. Are the Hyacinths a move in the right direction?

I own SA Hyacinths and HT Pro-Silway II, both excellent and do not have the typical brightness that say Kimber silver has......if cost were no object I slightly prefer HT PS II, but it costs much more. I am using Musical Fidelity CDP, preamp and monoblock amps, with double runs of AP Oval 9 speaker cable......it all depends on your taste and existing equipment, both are very detailed and revealing, and although not bright, don't have the natural warmth of good copper, try to arrange home trail before purchase.....Sam
Kenny makes good point, SA Hyacinth provide GREAT performance/value ratio, it is slightly better than silver bullet 4 from SA.....and yes SA Appasionata is a step up, but you must pay up for SOTA performance..... Rosstaman has nailed the HT PS II strength, massive 3D soundstage capabilities, that is why I give it edge over SA Hyacinth, but it costs $400m vs $275m........Sam
