theory_87 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2008 So far the best is Cryo x silver. I just made one can compare to crystal cable, jumbo cryo, hga silver. If delivers the punch and deep bass, detail and extended high. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

david watt 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2008 For me the best mini IC i have tried so far is the vilgrind. It betters the UL Silver Reference b a huge margin in terms of body and timbre. You can find out more by googling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
