The Cable Company is a good place to start.Tell them what your system is made up of and they will recommened a cable.Do 1 at a time.Dont do both IC and speakers at the sime time.Your best cable should go from source to pre amp.THe Cable Company will let you try them out which is nice.Happy hunting.
Interconnects be as neutral as possible?
I'm thinking about replacing my generic cables (both ICs and speaker cables). I assume realistcally the components of a system (without cables) have its aggregate sonic signature (bright, warm etc.). Should I get neutral ICs first so the system's sonic signature is not affected. Then I can buy speaker cables last to tailor the sound of the system to my personal preference. Does this approach (thinking) make sense? Thanks for any opinions. Mike C
