Upgrade Speaker Cables or Interconnects

since it can be so unpredictable, buy used and start with whatever great deals appear first...

Power cable for digital, then I/Cs. Am not a fan of conditioners but I have excellent power and live in a rural area. 

Does it come with a deed to swamp land in Florida?

One small item that I tried, which was very noticeable and was not that expensive was the High Fidelity Cables MC-0.5 power conditioner. I am using 3 now and it is amazing the noise that has dropped off the background. They are $299 each, but they were recently on sale for the holidays.

The electrons of your audio signal follow these lines of flux due to something called a magnetic moment. Just like the Earth spins and creates a magnetic moment or magnetic field, so do electrons. This magnetic field created by the electrons makes them behave like bar magnets. Because of this, the electrons get pulled into the lines of flux and follow the magnetic field of the wave guide. The magnetic field of the waveguide is far more powerful than that of the electrons. With a more concentrated magnetic field the electrons are forced inward towards the center of the conductor. This more concentrated flow of electrons helps to eliminate noise in your audio signal. When you lower noise you get a cleaner signal with less distortion.

.... because audiophiles will believe almost anything.

Buy a copious amout of your favorite feelgood and you'll be money ahead!!!

Jeez, the OP already said he has upgraded power cords in his system and they are perfectly fine for his equipment. So why do you guys keep telling him to buy power cords that are more expensive than his equipment? I get the feeling that a lot of us read the post so quickly that we really don’t comprehend what we read.

Case in point, I wrote out a long and detailed account about loading a Mc cartridge and made it a point that the dealer set it correctly and it was rechecked once I got it home. 5 of the 8 answers were to re align the cartridge. For Gods sake, I was not speaking Armenian ( I am Armenian), it was pure English yet it was not comprehended properly. As always, Ralph @Atmosphere gave me the answer I was looking for.

To the OP, if you don’t have upgraded interconnects, I would start with trying one from your source to amp. If you like what you hear, then keep going.
