but for grabs i have a set of (5) silver ICs with locking RCAs, they are all 3ft in length....got them less than 2 months back from ours truly, ben....sound great but unfortunately ONLY reason i am selling is because my new XPA amp does not want to play nicely with them(compatibility issue with that amp and silver cables)...these will work great with an other amp as they did with my LPA, hate to see them go

160 shipped for all

Emotivas answer.
Just seems to be an issue with that one amp.

My question is why do you want to keep an amp that doesn't play well with low impedance, or low capacitance cables?

Rush to market. Good design idea, poor implementation. The amp's protection circuit operations are based on substandard ICs acting as a band pass filter.

I'd love to grab these now, but can't. If you don't get any bites, PM me. I'd need two weeks.

FYI, I am using two sets of Bens Silver ICs with an Emotiva MMC-1 pre/pro between the pre/pro and my CD and DVD-audio players. There are no problems to report and I have found them to be well made beautiful sounding cables. Although they are still breaking in, I am very pleased.

All this silver lately.....tempting. Too bad it wasn't 3 pairs instead of 2.5. :( I could have changed every cable I have to those.

You could get single from Ben anyway. I believe he could do that for you.

If anyone buys these I will make an extra if needed so it will be 3 pairs at a super low price.

I've been talking with acsubie since this morning about these cables--consider them sold

Edit: Holy Crap, Ben, you're the man!

I'm sure you will enjoy them. Offer stands if you need to convert to 3 pairs. If you need a .1 cable I'd be a liar if I said in that app silver made a big, if any difference.

Actually, I was just going to use these as stereo ICs as I attempt to put a bedroom rig together, so a matching cable would be greatly appreciated.

I'll take care of that on the cheap. Thanks for helping Asubie out. This is a happy ending for both of you:) Let me know when you get them.

Will do. I am patiently waiting on a back order of material for tough situations. I am shooting for a cable that still retail the silver characteristics, but is more protect from high RF situations. I still recommend the braids. I just want an alternative for customers that come into odd situations.
