start with some basic, low cost, quality cabling and move from there

golden input. thanks a lot. makes perfect sense.
just remembered I have some older Audio art rCAs about.
I did buy a couple Audio Envy PCs and don’t think I’ll get more cables from there. not sonically errant, just not a very robust build quality.

Look at the Shunyata Research Venom line, or if budget allows, Delta.

THX. its astonishing how many brands I’ve used in the past have escaped my memory. I’ve used the Shunyata ’snakes’ PCs to great effect in past rigs.
my fav SR PC was the Taipan Helix Alpha. sweet cord indeed.

If you're looking at ICs, SCs, and PCs, I'd look at Triode Wire Labs.

you are echoing a friend of mine as you point to Triode. Thanks.

Wireworld. Their low end stuff is pretty good value for money and fairly neutral.

again, thanks for jogging the ‘ol memory banks.
my previous FAV main ICs were usually Synergistic Re of one sort or another. in fact today I still have 3 sets of their speaker cables in various levels of performance, active and static, bi wired and std.
with previous eXP Cardas, Nordost, and SR still have me inparting some confidence in these lines.
what is different now is the OMG lofty price levels even their midlevel ranges demand. WOW!
the Cardass further exasserbates things in my mind as thier various tiers of performance are confusing. clear? blue? beyond?
that said and from hearing them loom a couple rigs at past audio shows, they do interest me. as did, AQ cabling, oddly enough. i hearda Luxman & Magico A3 pairing wired front to back with aQ and found it quite engaging.
the problem with audio shows is the wiring in use is often well above entry level or even mid level fare.
if at this point i had to throw $$$$ into the wind hitting and hoping so to speak I’d likely opt to pitch it at the atmosphere line from Synergistic but I will check out what I can about Triode and some others mentioned here.
