IC Recommendations

[metal83]

Ok, so yet another topic i know nothing about. I've done a bit of googling but that hasn't really got anywhere.

With my setup being, RTi A7's, RTi A3's, CSi A6, Pioneer Elite 92, and possibly an XPA-3, what would you guys recommend for IC's? I'm not sure if certain IC's go better with certain gear or whatnot. And also, how many do i need, is it just one that goes from the amp to the receiver, or do i need one for each speaker being run by the amp?

Sorry for my audio ignorance..:o

You will need one cable per channel.

Thanks Leroy.
Now i'll just need to figure out which ones to buy.

What's your budget

What's your budget

I honestly hadn't set aside a budget for IC's, i really don't know what to expect price wise for decent ones.

Signal cables, well built and great cables for the $$

Ben's cables are excellent and very reasonably priced, and he's a member of the forum. He will custom make them to suit your set-up.

Signal cables you get a little discount for being a Club Polk member.

Ben's ICs

Wow, i didn't realize these things were so pricey, guess i'm looking at a nice chunk of change for 3 of them.

I have found my Cardas ICs to be great. They are a little pricey, but even their lowest priced cable is a good MIDFI cable.

Ok, so in regards to Ben's IC's, i noticed that he has a few different ones. What ones do you guys here on Club Polk usually go for? This stuff is all foreign to me.

I suggest PM Ben, tell him what you are looking for and he'll help you out. Go ahead and just ask, he doesn't bite...well that might cost you more ! ;)

Look at Blue Jeans and Signal cable as well. Solid product, not alot of money.

Mid grade Audioquest ICs (Diamondback) work well. They can be had for a fair price used on Audiogon.

Blue Jeans Cable is good quality and may be less of a sticker shock.
