Re: I don't think so.

I have never heard one in the context of my system or at a show. I tried a few and have made a couple 5N silver ICs and have found all of them to be lacking in terms of slam.

Judgements are personal and system dependent. We each have our own standards for each trait. Many times I have found that when people consider a product to have outstanding dynamic slam, it is average, adequate, mediocre or even seriously lacking in my book. I feel this is a system performance aspect which has enormous untapped upside but is typically not even competent due to speakers, room, electronics, power lines and cords, cables and every single minute detail through the chain. I don't care to listen to electrostats or planars or dynamically inadequate anything. If you listen to Quads, the silver ICs I have heard should do just fine.

Virtual Dynamics cables have a vastly different dynamic performance cabability than say the HGA Silver Lace.
