Ok guys, I'm getting to the point where I want to upgrade my wires if it'll benefit me a lot. I have pretty nice speaker wires (Blue Jeans), but I'm only using Monoprice IC's from the receiver to the amp. It definitely looks like the weak link in my setup.

I've heard many many great things about Ben's IC's. Can someone chime in on what types of benefits I'll get if I switch to better IC's? Especially Ben's. I'm using A5's so I think they'd be decent enough to take advantage of better IC's. Any thoughts appreciated. :) Thanks!

I haven't heard Ben's cables with any other speakers than SDAs, but I went from no name cables to AQs and got a huge uptick in resolution and imaging. When I replaced the AQs with Ben's I got a similar experience. I'd expect a similar experience for you.

I have a set of Ben's cables on my rig running the rti a5's and i gotta say they sound fantastic.

Thanks for the replies guys. I've contacted Ben about them and am pretty much convinced. :) Touch, did you use any other IC's before using Ben's?

Yes i did. I had a few differant pairs of el cheapo's and i had a pair of auricle"sp" kaptons.
Bens blew em out the water.
I have another pair of silver IC's but i forget by who. Again bens took em down.
