Best Copper IC under 200.

Kadlec, my thoughts are try MIT through Audio Advisor - 30 day money back guarantee. 330+ or even term series, the term 2 ic is around $80, I know MIT speaker cables and Thiel are an excellent match, I've got em. Not sure about Cary/MIT though. I had Tara Ref. Gen II and did not like in my system, CJ pre and Classe amp.

An all copper cable worth considering is the Harmonic Technology Truth Link. Recently I had to the chance to compare them (in someone elses' system) against a couple of Nordost ICs and left with a very favorable impression. The Truth Links are usually available used for ~$125 here on Audiogon.

Unfortunately, I am only familiar with your pre and speakers, not the amp and source (which I hear good things about). Given that limited knowledge, I'd say the Truth Links are worth a listen.

I second the truthlink at $125ish used, $250 new. I a/b compared it to a nordost spm. It lost on sheer resolution, but it wasn't by much. Another very good cable I tried is the Audioquest quartz x3. I think you can find those in the hundred dollar range used. It's a very good idea to try a couple of cables with your system. Their performance is system dependent.

Don't waste your money on expensive cables. No one ever talks of a numerical difference between cables. You cannot measure any difference. Your speakers will have a thousand times the effect a cable can have. The differences are psychological.

Given his responses to every subject he's commented on thus far, this guy would be happier on AudioReview.com. Might I make a friendly suggestion to give 'em a whirl and leave us to our "delusions." That way everyone can be happy.
