Where do I go from here?

I just found the link I could not find for my earlier post

For an insight into some of the cables I have tried and currently use see...

Since writing the article above I have made some changes to the power distribution side of my setup which has changed my opinion of the DHLabs cable slightly...

On the power cable side, DH Labs are for the budget minded and perform very well considering they are about 1/3 the price of Furutech, but Furutech are are the cable to beat - not that there are not better performers out there, but they are BIG$$$.

The DH Labs Power Plus is extremely good and performs to the level of the lighter gauge Furutech cable, but their Encore power cable lacks a little (and I mean a little) in the micro details - e.g. concert hall acoustics.

Hope this helps :-)

Thank you everyone! That is a lot of food for thought. I will take all of this knowledge with me when I go see "my guy" this weekend and do some equipment demos. I will let you know what i find out and may come back with more questions.

Tube preamp!

"sound staging is quite good, lows could be better but highs do sparkle and transients are quite nice. "

So everything is good apart from the lows? Might I suggest a subwoofer?

Malcom02: You may suggest a sub, but I can't handle subwoofers. (I have had them). I am a classically trained Double Bassist and I don't care how often I hear people say that "you can't tell where bass is coming from" or "bass is omnidirectional", or "subwoofers can be located..."it doesn't sound natural to me.

Thanks though! On the surface it makes perfect sense from what I wrote. :)
