You might consider Homegrown Audio. They have a 30 day $ back guarantee. Many consider them of reference quality at a bargain price. I have their Silver Lace ic's and am very pleased.
Cable, hi-fi neophyte lost in Space
I can use some help on trying to cable my system. I'm new to all of this "audio" stuff but know what I like and how I like it to sound.
My current system is a Belles 150A Hotrod (SS)amp coupled with a Belles 20A (tube) pre amp, a Rega Jupiter CD player and (for now) PSB Silver i speakers.
I listen to jazz, some classical and some rock. I like the sound to be clear but not overly bright, yet fat like you are being massaged while immersed in the soundstage. I enjoy mid to loud-ish levels but want great definition at lower volumes. Geez, sounds like I want it all.
By the list of components above, one can tell I'm a "value" kind of guy. At this point, I can't see hemorraging money for cables that are beyond the baseline for this system. Given the parameters above, can anyone lead me in a direction that would get me where I want to be? Power cords for amp, pre and CD; Amp/pre-amp connect; player to pre, signal to speakers? I'd even listen to thoughts about a speaker upgrade as well if it were deemed worthy.
Thanks in advance from this first timer.
