mixing and matching.....

I might be opening a can of worms on this one but with literally hundreds of posts on cables I can't resist. How many of us have a mixed bag of IC + PC cable mfrs on our systems? My system has cables from Audioquest, Pure-note, Homegrown (remember them?) and different model cables within each mfr. The situation with Power cables is even worse.

My question is this: How much benefit can any of this yield with such a hodge podge. Would it be better to get rid of everything and start anew with 1 mfr.? Has anyone had this problem?

I have 4 brands: DNM, MIT and Harmonic Tech and Audioquest.

It is not a problem. Rolling cables is not much different than rolling tubes IMHO.

I can't think of one pwer cord that sounds good in every place in my system. I don't have a perfect system, what is that? Something is going to sound better than something else. I.C.'s are fewer. Try the fuses, and go one level deeper, they're great.

I have Straightwire LSI, Straightwire Encore, Monster M1000, SilverAudio 4.0 bullets, and some custom silver cable...I often wonder about that too especially because I have a switchbox so the cable coming from the component to the switchbox is different from the cable going to the amp...seems to be ok though.
