In my experience speaker cable and IC from source to pre are pretty much equal in importance. I think perhaps the IC beats the speaker for detail/resolution, and the speaker beats the IC as a tone control.
Which is more important, spkr. or intrc. cable?
I know that having a good qaulity speaker cable and interconnects are important, but which in your opinion has the greater overall impact on sound reproduction?
In other words, if your funds were limited, and you could only upgrade one or the other, which would be more important for an upgrade?
