My current system as is, cables and all. Especially cables, thank God! I turned into a neurotic crazy nutcase looking for the right ICs for my system. Turned out that for me, I preferred copper for all cables (SC, IC, and PC). That really helped me zero in on what was best for me. So I am done looking. Though will still go out to hear other equipment, but only out of curiosity. Not because I am dissatisfied in any way. (Chose to not list my equipment here. You can look up my system if curious.)
