where to use your best ic s.

I'm in the process of buying my first set of good ic's. I would like to keep the price down. The ic's i have decided on are the homegrown's.I need 2 sets of 1.5 m's. They sell their entry level for $80 and their silver lace for $170. Should i spring for the $169 set Altogether or mix them, or get the cheaper set. Anyone have experience with both lines? is there a difference?

I understand that the Silver Lace is supposed to be a helluva deal for the price (sorry I have never used them preferring copper in my system...) They do have a 30 day policy so there is the possibility for trial. Remember, what is lost at the beginning cannot be retrieved, so IMHO, the better ic would be best suited for the source to preamp connection.

Oops,forgot the second part of the question. Try hard to get 2 good ones. I prefer the same quality and brand. Once you got all that good stuff coming out of the source, you want to keep it going all the way to its destination. But, if one at a time is all you can swing,get the best you can for now. Don't spend $$ on new stuff you know you will be replacing/unless you have nothing else to use, at all.I would think you could get more for your money buying used.
