I have Avalons, Ayre Acoustics amp / preamp, Levinson 36s, McIntosh CD/DVD with Sota table, Morch arm and Ortofon high end MC cartridge. It's a very resolving and detailed rig. Plays loud with no loss of resolution.
I've experimented with many high end cables. Had a good ole friend that owned Reed Brothers in Charleston, SC. After much ado and testing, I have Cardas Golden Cross interconnects and bi-wire GC Cardas speaker cable. Makes a wonderfully addictive musically involved presentation. I have Kimbers well reviewed silver cables, and occasionally insert between EAR phone stage and pre-amp, boost up the mid range and treble for jazz bite. Happy listening and others have noted, listen to your ears in your system.
