DH Labs

I understand completely. I wanted to see a big improvement, but did not. I'll also mention that I do not have perfect hearing, by any means, too many years of hammering, sawing, and shooting. But nearly all of my other cable upgrades have been easy to hear an improvement. My amp is a Luxman L-590 AX, speakers are Paradigm S6's. All listening is near-field at low to moderate volume.

@builder3 understood. It’s totally possible the “stock” Cardas cables are good though so I don’t doubt your ability to hear changes.
My experience with interconnects upgrades is limited to line level components only.
I’d have to figure out a way to try these DH Labs cables.

@builder3 If you had bought the Dimension brand new, I suggest you swap the stock cables back in. It takes quite a while, at least a few hundred hours of play, for the Dimension to break in since phono signals are very delicate, and they are a bit more closed in at first. As they open up, it is easier to discern the differences against copper conductor cables.

I would add Zavfino Majestic MKII tonearm cable to your consideration as well. When I went through upgrade cycle over my stock tonearm cable (Van den Hul) to Audio Envy to Majestic, each upgrade was a solid improvement over stock cable. 

I have long admired DH Labs cables but IMHO, Zavfino cables build and performance punches way above its price of admission. 

@blisshifi , that's a good point, I might try the original phono cables again, see what I hear. The Dimension cables I bought weren't brand new, they were sold to me at a discount by DH Labs as demos, they'd been used at a show. Still probably didn't have more than a dozen hours on them.

@audphile1, you might look at usedcable.com. Hard to say what might pop up. Or ask DH Labs if they ever have other used demo stuff.
