I'm using their Analog One v2 copper interconnects and am very happy with them. These folks make a high quality product.

Yeah those silver bullets alone are like 80 bux. I also noticed they are multistranded rather than a single solid core conductor, which is much more expensive to produce. Overall looks like a real steal, I have no doubt they will sound wonderful. The digital cable looks good as well.

I haven't the opportunity to try signal cable's new silver cables, but I can say with absolutely no hestitation that you should also try Silver Audio (www.silveraudio.com). I have yet to hear a better cable at any price point. I know that sounds like a far fetched hyperbole, but I have gone through an amazing array of cables before I found SA. I gladly replaced my previous $$$$ Nordost Valkyries with SAs. Their cables start at about $225 so it's right in line with Signal Cable's pricing.

I have tried their copper ICs before. They're great for the price. I also have a pair of the shotgun biwire. They sound great and for the price, unbeatable.

I'm thinking about trying out a set of silver biwire. By the way, I love those eichman bullet connectors. If I get some extra green, I may have to try out the silver ICs as well. Meech, let me know how you like them.

Anyone compare the Signal cables to the Home Grown Audio Siliver Laces?

From just the product description alone, would you say that this would be a more worthwhile buy than your Bogdan Silver Princess cable?

Very interesting. The prices are almost too good to be true.

Anybody know the the geometry, materials, shielding or capacitance on the the analog RCA interconnects?

Please post your listening impressions / comparison when you get the cable.

Thanks!

The prices do raise the question: How much are most cable companies overcharging?

The web site says something about geometry, etc. But the page is not finished, "coming soon" it says.

What is the general consensus on Signal Cable? eyeteeth, do you think the speaker wires are a decent product, fairly priced?
I am in need of a pair of 2m interconnects. I was thinking that maybe these silver ones would work well on my Arcam then I could switch the Corals I have there to the Sony. The Sony is a bit bright already and I don't think a silver IC would be a good idea for it.
