IMHO the speaker cables are the most critical. I'll throw in a plug for the brand I use, Jena Cable which are simply insulated braided copper. Then ICs, I have yet to hear a meaningful difference between power cords.
interconnects vs speaker cables vs power cords - which make the biggest difference?
Like the subject line says, I am curious what others think in terms of whether interconnects, speaker cable or power cords make the biggest difference when it comes to noticeable sound improvements, or are they all equally important? I am thinking of upgrading them all and am trying to decide how to allocate spending. Thanks in advance.
