mixing and matching.....

I might be opening a can of worms on this one but with literally hundreds of posts on cables I can't resist. How many of us have a mixed bag of IC + PC cable mfrs on our systems? My system has cables from Audioquest, Pure-note, Homegrown (remember them?) and different model cables within each mfr. The situation with Power cables is even worse.

My question is this: How much benefit can any of this yield with such a hodge podge. Would it be better to get rid of everything and start anew with 1 mfr.? Has anyone had this problem?

I have 4 brands: DNM, MIT and Harmonic Tech and Audioquest.

It is not a problem. Rolling cables is not much different than rolling tubes IMHO.

Three words:

Synergy, synergy, synergy.

ALl components involved in listening must have synergy together, including the room and your ears.

You can buy it from a single manufacturer if you find it or you can create it yourself by mixing and matching, but be prepared to spend more time (and $$$s most likely as well over time) experimenting with the do it yourself approach.
