Thanks Johnny. I'm still weighing my options, but if I can get some of the newer TC (used) at a good price I might give it a shot. If it doesn't work out I'll be able to resell them with little (if any) loss on the deal. I think there's a good reason why the TC design has been around for 20 years or so now. It does a great job at making music, IMHO.
The PS Audio cable reminded me of the experiments my audiophool friends and I tried in the 80s. We borrowed every high end cable we could get our hands on and tried to make every wacky design we could think of (we almost all worked for the same electronics design company). One of the guys at work found out they were disposing of heavy duty arc welding cable. It had to be 0000 at least. Weighed a ton. We figured out how to put spades on it and use it as speaker cable. It wasn't as good as we'd hoped, and just trying to route it through my living room was a laugh. :-)
