I have to agree with @decooney .
Whatever you do let it settle, It takes time. Best scenario would be having the same between source-preamp-power.
Best place to insert a new higher end cable in my system?
Hello. I picked up a good deal in a Audioquest Water 1.5m cable. It’s the most expensive one in my system. I have mostly other AQ cables such as Mackenzie, Sydney, a Columbia and an old school AQ cable going from my amp to preamp that sounds pretty good. Components include amp, preamp, phono preamp, server, streamer and universal player. I have a Cardas Blue Heaven phono connect going to my phono preamp but on occasion use a step up transformer former and use an old school Musical Concepts super connect II .5 meter from the SUT to the phono preamp. Where will I get the best performance from this Water IC? Thanks for your consideration and feedback.

@decooney seems correct. If the source is diminished by that first connection, what good is the rest? |
Thanks to everyone for your feedback. I will certainly start from my source to my preamp and go from there. I had done searches before on best type of IC to use from your amp and couldn’t find anything conclusive but from this thread it appears, in most cases, the best IC to use, is the best one you have. Looking forward to giving it a shot. |
