Hi Nonoise, I have also been surprised that Tempo is not more well known.
I am not afraid of silver and Joe Levy is a total pleasure to deal with!!
I had decided on Tempo by research alone. My SET system was put together cold as everything was un-auditioned, un-heard, but again well researched. (very well received components and my ears agree :) My choice was to have unterminated SC's anyway. Joseph also made me a pair of IC's, XLR to RCA to go from Pre to Amps.
I have not conducted any comparisons on either so my findings may not carry much weight, but I am very happy with these.
I recently purchased a pair of used Tempo IC's RCA-RCA, here, at such a bargain that I could not resist. I did try them between the CDP to PRE for a few days, in substitution of an Audio Magic Clairvoyant Liquid Air. I did prefer the AM's on first switch-out, and they are about four times the cost and a totally different cable.
The Tempo IC's are open for audition if interested, (not for sale:)
