Speaker Cables? Your input kindly requested.
Try Stealth audio cables. PGS is very soft lay back sound. Your problem is definitely not on the speaker wires. I have Transparent music wave super. It's very smooth and warm sounding cable. 
Silver DIY Interconnects
Audioengr, I would probably agree with you if I'm a cable manufacture who can affort high tech cable making equipment. For DIYs, I don't think there is much difference if one choose to use 3N or 6N. For 30 Ga solid core wire, assume 3N silver cost... 
Silver DIY Interconnects
Sean is absolutely right about purity of silver. Since we're not talking about over 100 feet interconnect, there is no real difference between the 99.9% fine silver from jewelry store vs the medical grade 99.999%. I have many different brands of t... 
Phono interconnect recommendation?
The XLO signature definitely is a great choice. I'm using two of their phone cables.

Other than ebay, the cheapest place I found for teflon tubing and cardas RCA connectors is http://www.hndme.com/You can also buy the "color coded" teflon tubing for smoother soundThey ship the same day.Use teflon tape from Home depot. You'll need ... 
Silver DIY Interconnects
Sean, I would agree with you on the specs for the gauge. I've tried 24 gauge and it sounded muddy in the upper mid range. I tried twisted pair of 30 gauge ( equivalent to 27.01 gauge.) and it works great for me. I'm still experimenting with slight... 
The truth about interconnects - can you handle it?
The person who wrote and those who agree with the writer simply can't accept why interconnect sound different. Aside from being ignorant about why the interconnect sound different, they want to see "the real science" behind the cable making. Obvio...

0.64mm is 22 gauge That's too thick for interconnect. Good for speaker cable. 
ATC SCM12 and 50wpc Manley Stingray?
I don't hear any distortion or clarity or imaging issue in my setup. If any more then it could be a bit analytical sounding. Maybe its your amp or speaker wire that wasn't able to provide enough clarity. I'm using NBS Master speaker cable and Stea... 
Newbie needs cabling HELP.
Try Chris's flavor 1 power cord would help too. We got very good result on Rega 2000 CDP. Better imaging with slight warm sound and lower ground noise floor for under $40. 
ATC SCM12 and 50wpc Manley Stingray?
Misskuma, in what way the midrange sound different betweent the SCM12 and the old SCM10? I have not audition SCM12. tks 
ATC SCM12 and 50wpc Manley Stingray?
I'm using Lafayette KT-550 55Watt/ch tube amp for my original SCM10 (80db)and it got plenty of power for my living room space( 22' X 14' X 8' ) It's never "lack of power" and the bass definitely could make the floor shake. I tried the Krells and t... 
Cable Costs Relative to System
I believe the cable cost shouldn't be more than 15% of your total system cost. I've done many comparisons over the past 3 years ( over 2 dozen cables.) and only found less than 5 cable makers that made my "acceptable" list regardless of the price.... 
Review: Stealth Audio Cable M-21 special Interconnect
$1200 retailed for 1 Meter + $150 for cryo treament 
Amp to match Rogers LS3/5A
If you want something efficient, try the McIntosh MC240 However, you would want to use KT66 tubes instead of 5881 tubes on the MAC. You can pick up an used one in good orginal shape for $1500 to $2200 depents on the condition.
