Upgrade Cables or Just Upgrade Equipment & Live in Shame?


I have a perfectly adequate hodgepodge of cables.

Basically a dog from each town.

 

Kimber 8T speaker cables

Mismatched length Transparent Audio I/Cs. DAC to Integrated

Basic Shunyata Ethernet cable. DAC to Streamer

Cable company Ethernet lines from Router to Streamer-Yes the ones from Comcast, Cox, Infinity etc-Amir says they are lovely BTW.

GR Research Power Cable + Assorted Pangea A9s

Some Chinese Fiber from TV to DAC.

StraightWire Digital- DVD to DAC

 

The only thing I have two of are the Pangea Power Cables!

 

Believe it or not I am pretty happy with the sound overall.

 

I use SolidSteel Tables and Dynaudio Stands + assorted room treatments.

 

Gear list just so you have a complete picture:

Pass Labs INT25

John "Fritz" Heilor Carerra 7 BE standmount Speakers

REL 5Ti Subwoofer

Innuos Zen Mk 3 Streamer/Burner/Storer

ANK 4.1x DAC

Balanced Power Transformer

Uptone Audio EtherRegen

 

If I avoid going the "Cable Envy" route I would instead buy 3 more subs

to have an array

 

What say ye???

Anyone with a system analysis ??

My goal is to achieve more "magic".

I have listened to some other home systems

that I want to emulate as best I can. 

All had multi subs.

I'm a big believer in good cables, but getting the bass correct is more important.

Also, if you find listening to cable changes boring you're already in trouble on that front. What kind of cables were they using in the systems you enjoyed?
