TG audio Speaker cables and IC's

Other ICs to consider that provide superior sound stage and an open window into the music include the Empress ICs and Pursang ICs from Argent Audio and Poiema from Ridge Street Audio. All excellent cables.

I've recently compared all the above to the Audience AU24 and the TG cables and for my system came to the following conclusions.

- The Empress cables are far more open, revealing and have a larger soundstage and are a true bargain at $350.

- The somewhat more expensive Pursangs add a whole additional dimension to the music. They list for $1k a pair but call Ric and he's a softie and occasionally offers better pricing.

Currently I'm using a pair each of Empress and Pursangs in my system. Highly recommended.

I prefer the TG Audio IC's and speaker cable over any other product in this price range and much higher price ranges. It is very natural, extended with out brightness, good bass, etc. but it's true claim to fame is sound staging and focus. In these area's it is super.

I have a set of TG Audio speaker cables coming from Biran Walsh at Essential audio to audition. I'll let you know my impressions
