I hear differences in presentation with changes in cabling. I have spent up to $300/pr for I.C.'s from Blue Marble Audio, $150/pr for Anti-Cable I.C.'s , and $75/pr for Virtue Audio Nirvana Cables. So which IC reigns supreme in my rig? None of the above. The IC from Neko Audio which happens to be Beldon wire is the best I have ever had and it's only $68/pr!

Yes, there are differences to be sure but I got lucky in finding a great product at a really affordable price.
