would agree with CD to preamp or if your into vinyl turntable or phono pre on out. See if you can get them burned in some other way and then listen. What you get from the source or don't will be heard most clearly through the speakers. What you don't your not going to get by putting them further downstream
Best path to test different interconnects?
Just wondering what would be the best place in your system to try different interconnects? I have 3 different sets i would like to try but none are matching, xlo , tara labs rsc 2, and some signal wires. Would i get no real change if i only swapped out the set from the pre amp to the cd player and left the same set between the preamp and the amp. Do you need 2 sets of each kind to truly listen for a difference. Hopefully what im saying is making sense. Which path would make the biggest effect in swapping. I would think from the cdp and the preamp. thanx for any info Kevin
