Interconnect recomendations, ~$500 new or used, RCA...

CEC TL-51 belt drive redbook transport to a Synergistic Research Resolution Reference Active digital cable feeding a MHDT Orchid tube dac using NOS Western Electric 396a triodes and a HifiTuning Supreme Cu fuse, Exposure 2010S integrated amp with a HifiTuning Supreme Cu fuse to Analysis Plus Ovel 9 speaker cables feeding Merlin Audio MMI bookshelf speakers with Master RC Network and Cardas jumpers. From an audiophile power outlet with a single High Fidelity Cables MC-0.5 power conditioner installed, a Virtual Dynamics David power cable (soon to be replaced with a Shunyata NR V-10) feeding a PS Audio Juicebar with Audience p.c.s to everythin else.  Audioning interconnects between dac and amp. 

PS. The Exposure integrated has a passive preamp section, yet is a satisfyingly dynamic amplifie. Great prat and naturalness. Not a detail monster, however (I find too much detail distracting and annoying). The MHDT Orchid dac, utilizing the legendary Philips 1541 chip, is R2R and  also very natural sounding. .

Nice. Thanks @pmboyd 

Have been very curious about that dac.  Starting my 10 day demo of an AM Tubadour tomorrow.

Last week I tried a pair of Wire World Eclipse 8 ics between my Tubadour dac and pre and am very impressed.It seems to be eliminating noise that I wasn't aware was there.Details that were vague are now very clear.The old saying about a clear pane of glass pretty well describes it.Everything is better from top to bottom without favoring any particular frequency.
I'm now in the process of trying a second set of ics and several of their power cords,but won't hijack your thread:-)

The Wireworld  Electra 7 power cords are impressive at their price point, very quiet and dynamic.
