I need a little help with my cables design for TT's. I am getting mixed reviews with the silvers on the turntables. I am looking at an affordable option with better sound hopefully. The problem seems to be too low a capacitance with some PhonoPre's. Please contact me via email. It is my Polk screen name at yahoo.com I have a proposition for you time. So far it is working well with my system. A side note is that if you never burned them in on a CDP for at least 80hrs you are doing your system a big disservice
Thanks
Ben

    The only problem I ever had with your silver ICs is when I hooked them up between a step-up transformer and my phono pre. I got a very loud hum. Other than that they work very well. I now have them in my HT rig as I've upgraded to all MIT ICs in my 2 ch rig.

    Not here yet. Why is the TT cable stock? You and Tracy are already on my list;)

    Joe The hum is the issue. Some pre's have no hum, and some do. I have some COAX solid copper 18ga center conductor. The inner insulation is foamed teflon, and the braid is copper not tinned wire. The cable is more expensive than other wire, but the 18ga wire, foamed teflon, and copper braid seem to be worth it from listening tests that I have done so far. I have tried them on my Phono, and tubed Pre. It's too early to give reviews, and I want to get opinions from others to see if there is any synergy issues.
