Those AQ Opal cables still sound pretty good. I have a pair over here as a spare. You might want to compare to some loaner cables before you start buying new - maybe consider The Cable Co. loaner program. Just because a cable is subjectively "better" doesn't mean you will like it better in your system.
Interconnect up-grade?
I've been using the old Audioquest "Truth...Opal 3x" for interconnects for 15 years. But I'm now upgrading most of the system and would like to go with more modern technology and take a step or two upwards in quality without totally breaking the bank.
The system is Mccormack stem to stern (SST, DAC, TLC, DNA and micro phono drive). Cables are AQ "Gibraltar". Shunyata Hydra and ac cords complete the array.
Suggestions would be most welcome
