Which interconnect cable to upgrade first

Thanks @thyname Appreciate your comment.   This forum has helped me a lot.  I had bought so many components based on the suggestions and comments I found here.   It's my pleasure to be able to contribute and give back whenever I can.   

Thanks again.

Thanks for reporting back. Great to hear your comments. Very thoughtful and well written, good job.

Yeah, that is why there are so many brands of interconnects. Why, most of use end up keeping a few… The next upgrade, you’ll want to be able to swap in a couple known interconnects. As I upgraded equipment, I actually went back to some of my first purchases, as at first I bought the most neutral I could find, but they did not sound good. Over time you learn what some house brand sounds like and you can predict what kind will sound good (after decades).

Upgrade everything asap be a sport.However amp to preamp first if you can't be a sport.

Personally I'm not a cable or fuse believer. 🙃

xcool,  Thanks for the update on your cable search. Your experience reinforces the reason why it is so important to try out different cables in your own system to see what works best for your equipment and listening preferences.

I'm a bit baffled why the Clear Reflection ICs sounded bright and thin between your preamp and amp since I've never heard the CRs sound that way and those aren't descriptions typically given to CR cables. The bottom line, though, is that you were able to find some Kimber Cables that match your system well, and that's all that really matters.
