Grover Huffman IC Group Buy

[Woodsyi]

If Grover says that the latest iteration of his IC is at least as good as the ultimate that is described here, http://www.stevehoffman.tv/forums/showthread.php?t=47670&highlight=grover I may take the plunge if we get to 35% again.    Since I actively triamp and run many sources, I use a lot of ICs.

Grover e-mailed me today that he is still working on the cables [latest iteration Grover S ICs] and he's made some changes in the silver content of the conductors. "Sounding way better." He also said to give him a couple weeks to finalize the cables.

Hopefully he will finalize them before the April 20th close of the group buy.

Hi Guys, I'd like to assure you that my S cables are finalized. I have been working on a new higher silver content connector. This new connector will be on all Grover S RCA cables, supplied to you. I'm dedicated to providing the finest cables around, and am looking forward to your impressions. I am willing to answer any questions about my cables asked here in this forum. It is my sincere belief you will be most satisfied, and pleased. Later after this buy, we can discuss speaker cable, if you wish.  My cables are all personally fabricated. There is total quality control right down to the custom conductor ribbons I personally press and polish.

I haven't a clue any more what I'm buying but I'm still in!

I certainly can't provide an in-depth experience...however, at Richidoo's G2G this past Sunday...we did a quick comparison between Straley IC's and a pair of Grover's IC's (supplied by Carlman).

The difference was immediate...with the Grover's revealing more information all across the spectrum.

So...I figure with that one experience, it's worth giving them a try   !

Hey, it worked out with the opamp, so why not a set of cables?

[Mike L]

I may be in as well.  However, I will probably wait until the date gets closer and we actually figure out what the hell we are buying.

Thanks,
Mike

Any guess how long it will take to turn all these around with a big group buy like this?  

From what I read, it seems like he gets swamped pretty quickly, being a one person show and all.  I certainly appreciate that he wants to get them right the first time.

Thanks to the kindness of DU/Jim and Grover, I've been burning in a pair of Grover IC's (like the one in the above photo I posted) for about a week. They have continued to sound better each day. Over the next few days, along with 3 different amps (SS, Tube,Digital), a cdp, and speakers...I'll compare them to a few other IC's I own....Ridge Street, Reality, Zu, VH Audio.
What I hear now....lots of detail, good bass....very open sounding. At first they did sound bright, and a little closed in....but their burning in nicely....with more control. Even at this point....at the group buy price...its a "best buy"....REALLY !!

The new connectors take the cables to a much higher level. No one but me has the new connectors. Soon you guys will. Wait till you hear these.

That's pretty much what I experienced, Chris.  I was definitely less than impressed the first few days, but they really opened up and smoothed out over the course of a week or so.  The comparison with my Indra proved the Indra still reigns, but from a technical standpoint (tonal accuracy, etc.), it was much closer than I had anticipated.

Good cables IMO, especially for the price.  Glad you like 'em.
