I've got some new phones with a dedicated amp coming in a few days and I want to get some good, but reasonably priced interconnects. I will be running directly out of a Planet 2000 to the amp.

I read the flumpus review of the Homegrown Audio Silver Lace and they are currently at the top of my list. However, these Equinox III+ are a current recommended component in Stereophile. Michael Fremer calls it:

Quote:

relatively inexpensive cable with "an impressively clean midrange" and a top end that is "unencumbered of grain and edge."

Hmmm, anyone familiar with these wires?

One word of advice as far as magazine reviews are concerned.


MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND!!!!!

Cheers.....

ez, get em both, and do a run off, returning the one you like less.

I agree with both david and Moo. The relative sound of a cable is so dependent on system synergy and personal preference that reviews can only be used as a general guide. In most cases, you really have to compare them yourself over a fairly extended period, e.g. a couple of weeks of pretty serious listening to be sure. Therefore, get them both with at least a 30 day return period, do some listening and return the ones you do not like as well. IMO.

Ok. I sent for the Silver Lace IC's and I guess I will follow your advice and order the Equinox III+ as well. I just checked and Audio Advisor has a 30 day trial period as well.

Oh well, this will give me the opportunity to hear for myself the difference in decent interconnects.

Thanks guys,

Rick
