So just for arguments sake, I use DNM Reson ICs exclusively in my system. Price I have paid ranges from $50 up to $200 each.
I would say these make the same kind of differences to the same extent in my system as do the HF wires in others.
If you look at them, there is not much to them. A very minimalist design. I pay the asking price which I deem reasonable for the benefits incurred.
THe HF wires might be better. Don't know. But the sound I have currently meets my goals that I have established by listening to many systems at all price ranges over the years, some with very high end wires like the HF. Live music events of various types over teh years serve as my other reference.
Some day maybe I will try a HF wire. As I indicated initally in this thread, I do find the design to be different and intriguing. I just can't justify the cost at present.
Its true the only way to know is to try. I;d recommend trying the DNMs as well. One might save a few $$$s to invest in their system or music elsewhere. Or not. You never can tell....
