but based on my personal finances I shouldn't. I have a very defined budget and feel the need to have more than one system available at all times for reviewing and personal enjoyment. My allocation of money for system building is somewhat different, at least at this point, than the typical audiophile. For instance, if I didn't have more than one speaker, or more than one amp, etc. then I might be able to work out the Silent Source cabling. But as it is, doing so would spread thin my ability to procure other components. In my view I need several system options available to me at all times, and I love different technologies of speakers, so I own more than one. For these reasons I prioritize accordingly.
Another variable is the necessity of using triple runs for some rigs. If I run the Legacy Audio Whisper DSW in active X-over mode, or even in passive tri-wired mode, I require a lot of cables, more than I can allocate to the highest grade/cost of cables. I can't afford to have triple sets which sit for periods of time as I use other speakers or have other cables in for review. I have to manage the costs of each component/element of systems for gear I elect to own.
After the review was published I did get permission to use a couple sets of ICs and two power cords ongoing for reviewing, and based on their performance I suspect they will be found in nearly every rig I build. I do a fair bit of cable reviewing, so if I request continued use of a cable, it means I'm quite fond of it.
