What is your approach to system fine tuning with cables and cords ?


Everything already sounds quite good, no obvious weak links.

Started making my own power cords and speaker cables.
Time to have a crack at interconnect next.
Did make up a new TT 5 pin din to 2 rca cable for my Denon, seemed to work out ok.
Then I only have myself to blame if it sounds like crap...... 
If you haven't spent the better part of a weekend moving your speakers a quarter inch here a quarter inch there while toeing in a degree or two at a time, then you haven't even met your weak link.

"n80, you never sound like an audiophile"

Thank you.

"You simply don’t get it."

I am certain you are correct.

"and as such this thread cannot possibly concern you."

No, it can in a morbid curiosity sort of way. And if it takes the turn that was probably intended it will be like watching a slow-mo train wreck. It is hard to look away.

And then there is the repartee. Who can resist that?

if everything sounds great its time to sell it off and build another system.


or….


if there is a roll of dough burning a hole in your pocket, its time to learn firs hand   just how much real snake oil, if any,  is out there and begin buying different wires.


before you begin, ensure you are using the exact same playlist for all of your appraisals.


speaker wires should be the first area for initiating the destabilization of one’s mind.

experiment accordingly.


Power cords next.

start at the source and work right straight thru to the amp and or spkrs if they too are active.

you should by now know every note on every tune compiled in your playlists.


Main ICs next if separates or various sources are on hand.



if you are on schedule its been about a year so you will know you are making progress if by now your cuing up playlist begins to nauseate you before you are finished listening to it.



next, begin appraising source ICs 


by now  sheer exhaustion  should have set in from  all the ‘cabling’ auditions you’ve  endured in those late night sessions.


being a  committed, or perhaps soon to be committed, audio nut,  to overcome any lack of sleep, you’ve laid in an abundant supply of Expresso and duct taped the  remote control to your hand to prevent it from further damage by hitting the floor.. 



next, its time to revisit those speaker cables.


the earmark of studius progress  will likely be projecdtile vomitiing during or before the playlist begins.



to know when  you are completely done use a mirror and examine your image. it should appear harrowed and thin with  dark circles under the eyes. hair should either be gone or greying and unkempt.  


for final confirmation,  open your banking app and examine your   account, it should look similar.


violin!
