| Who makes the best copper cables? Allnic, the great tube preamplifier company, has a line of their own cables that are in my experience the quietest and most neutral cables I have ever used. They use MU metal layer to control EM/RFI. I have a full loom. Try the 5000zl speaker a... | |
| Best way to buy speaker cables and to evaluate them Allnic 5000ZL fly a bit under the radar. They are equally at home with SS and tubes. They would match very well with your Coda. Numerous great reviews. Realy high quality cable. | |
| Second Round of Questions on Speaker Cables I owned Au24se for many years but have moved on. They clearly lack the “body” you’re looking for, a bit analytical. I would consider Acoustic Zen Hologram II. I’m confident they will give you what you’re looking for. Used options available. | |
| Interconnect recommendations Based on your requirements of “Focus is on clarity, transparency and micro details. I want to match or slightly exceed the quality of my existing system.” I highly recommend Allnic MUR7. They are everything your looking for plus the quietest cab... | |

| Do I need upgraded power cables? I haven’t read through all the responses, but before upgrading your power cables you should install a dedicated electrical circuit. It’s the best, least expensive upgrade you can do and while your at it add a good quality outlet. | |
| Pass INT-25, split decision and maybe option? Try Lavardin. Detailed, but rich tube like sound. | |
| A great has died “Honey Boy” always made the music sweeter…..RIP His sax solo on It Makes No Difference so expressive with sadness. | |
| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative” Check out Lavardin ITx. Great SS integrated that is famous for its analogue sound. Also well known for their build quality. I’m also just entering retirement and have sensitivity to high frequencies. I’ve been slowly converting my system to Au... | |

| Time For a CD Player Upgrade I recently got very lucky and found a preowned Audio Note CD 3.1x/II. HEAVEN! There is a used AN CD 4 on another market site.These are pure Redbook CD players. I do second the Marantz Ruby or SA-10 recommendations. |
