I would also look at Element cables offerings. I have one of their twisted pair IC's and it is fantastic. It sounded virtually indistinguishable from a pair of XLO Signature IC's I had (which I promptly sold for 3 times the asking price of the Elements). Right now, I'm using DH Labs revelation IC's because they work a bit with my DH Labs Q10's, but the Element cables still sound fine on my XM tuner.
Signal Cable -- High End Generic?
Searching the archive, I found some of you seem to think this guy and his company offer straightforward good value.
I have a weird grab bag assortment of cables inluding old MIT interconnects from SCD-1 to preamp, Monster Cable M-1 and M-1000 circa 1986 (Bruce Brissoon designed?)between amp and preamp and speakers, cheap entry level copper Monster cable connecting outboard crossovers to the Tympanis, and recently added the $50 giant yellow extension cord Home Depot tweak when I ran out of length on the speaker wire.
Nonetheless, the system still sounds pretty amazing, although my two complaints would be flat image and still a bit of glare on the top end, even with the tweaky resistors put in line as a treble attenuator.
So I am wondering if I buy Signal Cables:
best interconnects between pre and power amp
matching interconnects for SACD player
and matching
double run speaker cables with their spades and bananas (their copper line, not silver)
and
the signal cable "magic" power cords all around
What would you guess might happen to the glare, image depth and overall sound?
For a few hundred bucks, I guess I cant go too far wrong but would love any suggestions.
