Nordost and Triangle

How would Nordost Blue Heaven IC and Speaker cable sound with Triangle Zerius speakers? My goal is to get more resolution and air out of my speakers and cd player......
My system:
AR EB101 Turntable w/ Rega Elys Cart
Triangle Zerius
Audio Alchemy DDS III heavily modified
Audio Space Duntonic 3i Integrated tube amp
Meixing Ming Da phono stage (tubed)
Various cable: Kimber Hero, Analysis Plus IC and poth audio cables.

I don't think the Blue Heaven IC will keep you happy for long. Look a bit higher for interconnects. I also think, for 2 cents, that the Elys cart is a MM with a HF rolloff that will not give you the last undistorted octave of air. To improve resolution most effectively, consider upgrading your source.

Your amp looks interesting. Have you thought of NOS driver tubes?

I do have NOS input tubes but havent upgraded the el34s in it yet. That is a good idea to change carts I will look into it. Thanks.....

I run Shanling SP-80 amps with the stock EL34 output tubes. I think thses EL34s are the same as the ones in the Duntonic 3i, and I think they're a pretty good tube. If you try NOS EL34s I'd really be interested in your impressions, but so far I'm betting the driver tubes make much more difference.
