I just purchased a WyWires Silver balanced IC and will have it this week. Will be interesting to see how it compares to my Clear Days. I will compare and report back.
I would recommend staying away from shielded IC’s. Non shielded IC’s are usually more open. Geometry of a cable can cancel out RF and EMI. Clear Days and WyWires have absolutely no shield.
I run Canare mic cable 50+ ft. in a live setting and get no noise. Many cables all over the stage, running parrallel with each other and no issues at all; they are also not shielded. A lot of recording studios use Canare and it’s affordable. I have tried it against my Clear Days and it’s not as good but not bad. If your system is a little bright the Canare will soften it a little.
