From the OP who posted - "..speaker cables too bright..."

Folks-

I am lost in the agonies of audio system optimization. I don't stream at home - I live in a rural area in which I cannot stream. I do stream at the hospital and medical school.

Now I am trying Synergistic Research Euphoria and Excite power cables. In combination with some Nordost AC cords (Valhalla, Frey2), the system sounds much better, and the ARCGS150 power amplifier is working like a charm (my front end is now an Esoteric K-01xs, which I love.

If I down-size to a Pass Labs INT-250 integrated, will I need as careful about AC cords? Getting old here...

Thank you in advance!
