Best Placement - CT-1E

I am re-assembling my rig after some renovations. I have two pairs of IC's for placement decision: the HF CT-1E's and JPS Aluminata. One pair from DAC to Wyetech Opal pre, one pair frompre to Krell FPB 300cx power amp.

Peviously, had HF's from DAC to pre; JPS from pre to power amp, and sounded grand. Should I swap them? Yes, I know I can listen, but I am asking for your thoughts. Swapping cable placement is such a huge hassle in confined space.

Thx.

Since they have both been out of your system for some time
you may also find that the entire system will sound different
than you remember. IMO, you will need to give everything a
good several weeks to get yourself re-acquainted. Then make
cable changes once your ears have adjusted to the new set-up.

Either cable is likely to sound better in one position vs
another, only you can decide which sounds best to you!

Thanks, guys.
Tom6897, sound advice (pun intended). I will wait 2 weeks.

Krell Man, there are so many other things eating at me, the cables will have to wait in line. Got kids? Then you know what I mean. Cheers.

Hi Neal,
Also remember that when interconnects have there location changed many times there is a settle in period before they will reveal there true sound. From comments I've read from others, and what Rick says, this seems to be especially true of the HF CT-1E's.
