Joe Mazzaglia's Encore kapton analog IC's are among the all-time greatest values on Audiogon each time they appear for auction.
In addition to the analog IC, he sells an Encore Signature digital IC which is quite stunning musically, and I consider it the price-to-performance digital IC champion.
Hand crafted by a real audio perfectionist, who remains a very nice guy.
I have only heard anti-IC's outside my own systems, but did not hear as good a three dimensional illusion of full bodied rich sounding musicians.
