Silnote Audio cables & pricing??


I am thinking of trying a pair of the Silnote Morpheous
Ref II cables and am wondering what you think of them?
I want to try a pair between my integrated & DAC. Also a bit confused by the prices. On their site they all look like they are over $1k, but are all over the net for $150 +. Are they really a high dollar product with bad resell, or are the retail prices just super inflated? Really just wondering as I cannot get a handle on them and not sure if I should buy new or try to buy used. I know the obvious answer is to call them and see, but wanted to check here first.

Thanks for any info & thoughts.

Is your power clean? Are you using any kind of power conditioning and/or dedicated circuits?

I’m not familiar with Silnote products. Generally speaking, better quality cabling tends to expose weaknesses in the system - especially dirty, noisy power. Dirty power typically manifests itself in ’etched’ high frequencies and ’boomy, ill-defined’ low frequencies. It’s most observable when a female vocalist hits a high note with fortissimo. No recording engineer would allow that kind of distortion on a master.  Lesser quality cabling tends to mask/mute those issues.

Most major improvements in my system have occurred when addressing the power supply and delivery.
