Crystal Cable - Have you heard or compared them?

I am interested in the relatively new Crystal Cable line for my next interconnect and speaker cables. I heard that it is the wife from one of the designer of Siltech cables that has launched her own line of cables. Since Siltech are among the best cables in the world, these should not be bad.

Does anybody here heard them and those who have to which cables have you compared them and what was the results.

What interest me other than sound is the fact that these cables are really flexible and tiny as I am growing tired of the big black cables.

thank you for your input

Yes, they are light and flexible and I've used their MCH sets for a while. No complaints.

I have tried the Micro and Piccolo in my system. I normally use the Oritek X-2 or CRL Silver ICs from my DAC to preamp. I tried both the Micro and Piccolo and can say that both are very good cables. They are very neutral and let through a lot of detail. I also like the fact that they are well shielded and very flexible cables. Overall I preferred the Micro and have been using this exclusively for the last 2 months or so. I did try the Micro and Piccolo in my system together. I placed the Piccolo between my preamp and amp. While the sound was great, I felt the combo was a little too much of a good thing together. I preferred the RSAD Poemia!!! or CRL Silver between the preamp and amp instead.
