dekay--i'll try switching them to b/w the dac and pre. right now i'm using a brand new 1m length of straightwire laser link 2 b/w the cd and dac. i had planned on using the super silver as a digital cable as well. i have heard that it can work well there, but now i'm not so sure? mboldda1--- i wish i could afford the silver lace. i think my wife would kill me. is it really that much better? could you expound on the differences? thanks to both of you all. i'll keep you posted how things progress.
homegrown audio super silver i.c.
hey folks. I have been building a system over the past year that consists of; vandersteen 2ci, parasound cdc1500, parasound dac1000, audible illusions 2d, b&k ex442, tributaries silver biwire and a single run of straightwire (not yet burned in) laser link 2 for the digital coaxial dac connection. i have a very small listening room (approx. 11x11). i started with an adcom 5400. it was too bright and digital sounding for my taste. i liked the sound of the b&k, but in my system the soundstage was shallow. i had hoped to improve the sound with the dac and a set of the super silver ic's. i put a 1m set of the super's in b/w the pre-amp and amp. it's bright again like the adcom. it got even brighter still by adding the dac. the soundstage and decay, blah, blah, blah sounds great, but an s with a female vocalist sounds like a snake. i was going to get another set of the super silver to replace the no name junk interconnects that i'm using b/w the dac and the pre. but, i'm worried that it'll get even brighter! did i make a misake with the s.s.? will they smooth out with burn in? can anyone give me advice as to what in this price range will sound good without the brightness? should i stick with the homegrown's and maybe get their silver solutions instead of the super? i don't want to lose the increased soundstage, but i also don't want to get fatigued listening. thanks to all for your "sound" advice.
