Where to put interconnects ???/

Thanks. Thats funny stuff. Having been doing that for years Even when I worked in the biz. I am done doing it . I had gone to an integrated from seperates but had to sell the integrated and go back to some stuff I could get cheap. Also the location of the gear makes swapping cables very hard. Not only that my NRs are so strained from swapping a few years ago they will not take it anymore so I was hoping someone had some experience with this setup.

...& don't forget to let the cables settle before you do your final evaluation....YMMV. IME, Cardas cables may be more sensitive to this than other makes/brands?

as a general rule, whatever is the more higher end ic, put that the source. ymmv
