Sso1- For reasonably priced ICs, try the Coincident Speaker Technology cables. For higher level and cost, try the FIM Silver or Gold series. These are quite stiff, though. I'd suggest that you try some great power cords first, before you consider a pre-amp upgrade. Don't underestimate the improvement possible with great power cords (FIM Gold or Shunyata KC). Goodluck.
