HomeGrownAudio cable Owners

Thanks guys. I just read the threads in the archive, but wanted to hear opinion from new owners, if any, with this product. OBTW - I like the shot about paranoia being a determining factor on the Super Silver vs Lace - HAH! My system is about 25k retail; triode (VAC) tubed-based with Silverline Sonatinas. My reference cables for the last 3 years; Magnan type Vi & XLO signature 1.1's.

Just recently I sampled 6 different cables for primarally the XLO. Cardas Cross, JPS Super Conductor, TG Audio, Bear Labs, NBS Monitor IV, and the Super Silver. The JPS and TG Audio were best at benefiting my systems weak points, but the Super Silver is much closer to my sensibilities. While the TG Audio had a dramatic, sweeping effect, the SS was much more delicate (but not soft) and detailed (but not fatiguing).

It really comes down to a preference, and while the TG Audio and JPS were very impressive, the SS were very transparent and musical. Very unHIFI-ISH. Talk about the shimmer on top, the air and decay and the throbbing yet very tight bass. Chorus' were just lovely and someone previously mentioned the way they disembody the music from the speaker enclosures, much like the effect of my Shunyata Hydra PLC. I appreciate the insight. MikE

I have both the Super Silver and Silver Lace. I think the Super Silver excels at speed, clarity, transparency, and detail. In my opinion, the Silver Lace makes major improvements. Most apparently in the areas of bass response(extension, power, and tightness) and dynamics. Lately, because of all the talk about the Sakura OTA cables, I have been thinking a lot about cables in general. From the opinions of people I trust very much(Brulee, Dekay, Kitch29, and Redkiwi) it seems this product has proven to be a revelation to them. Following along the one thing I always seem to conclude in life. Simpler is better. The big issue in my mind right now are connectors. Super Silver features very middle of the road connectors. Silver Lace comes with some wonderful WBT like locking connectors. I am now really wondering how the two would compare if the connectors were the same. While I have raised this issue several times in the past, I have never really dwelt on it to the point where I am now. As the more I hear silver, the more enamored I am of it, I am considering trying the Super Silver with solid silver RCA connectors from Alpha Core Goertz. I wonder if that is as close as I could come to the ultimate truth in interconnects.

How is the quality of your bass? I'm trying Audio Magic Excaliburs and they are very nice, but, but... it seems like my bass has gotten drier, less weighty. And while subtle, I really miss it. I'm finding my music less involving. does this mean I like "warmer" sonics. Looking for diagnostic advice.
