some great suggestions here. looks like i'm not that close to the end of this process lol!
obviously can't try everything but would like to find something i like alot asap....then struggle with "perfection" and a cable to love long term. will be upgrading almost everything over the next year or so making perfection seeking a waste of time (if perfection even exists in this hobby).
should have mentioned that i'll be upgrading my starter system. separate amp/pre-amp is in my future. not right away but within 12 months. upgrading my source cdp first. hopefully in the next month or two (going with DAC/transport). will revisit cables next year when i'm done with this madness. just looking for something i like right now. learning alot while i look/listen too.
stingreen-i'm not laughing at anti-cables. just scared because of the lack of insulation/shielding?. got a hornets nest of cables tangled up behind my equipment(did i mention i was new at this stuff?).
XLO's and Kimber's are 2 i can find pretty easy. will give them a go. keep an eye out for some of the others too. thanks for the suggestions.
Timrhu-what a gracious offer!. the world would be a much better place with more individuals like you. thank you. will let you know if i decide to take you up on it. got alot on my plate already but *really appreciate* the offer.
gotta comment again on how awesome you guys are for taking the time to help newbe's. i have a few other hobbies and boards i frequent regularly (watches, shotguns, cars). gotta say that you audio freaks are the friendliest most helpful bunch i've seen.
thank you!
