| Cable advice I also have four different brands currently. IMO it's a good idea to start with one inexpensive brand throughout as a baseline then choose one component to try different cables on,usually the source first. | |
| After fifty years… amazing. What high end audio can be. ghdprentice congrats:-)I'm almost there at 68 and enjoying the music so much I don't have the desire to try any new shiny stuff. Enjoy! | |
| Advice for RCA Interconnect Upgrade? I like TWL on digital components, especially their power cords. IME your smallish room is your biggest problem. I've got the same problem. Think about trying DSP and experimenting with cheap homemade room treatments. Google AMROC to put in your ro... | |
| Zu for Pass Labs? I'm sure it would if that's what is used at the shows. I prefer tubes with my Omen Defs in comparison to the Modwright ss amp I use in the summer. | |

| Klipsch Speakers Klipsch are forward lively sounding speakers.Forward lively sounding components driving them can be too much of a good thing.Sweeter more laid back dacs or pre amps are a good place to begin researching. | |
