To Marakanetz, Hickbone's Pass amp will run loads of current. It's certainly not the issue here. Read all of above.

I can't think of an interconnect that won't go below 20 hz.

Interconnect doesn't care much about low frequency at all since it could conduct even 0Hz i.e. DC.

Lloyd, I will try and audition some Transparent references but they do seem a little pricey. Certainly enough so that I won't be buying any without hearing them first. Thank you for your input. Swanny, the Cardas Golden Refs seem to be affordable enough to try.(All used, of course) I am not looking to roll off the highs, but have certainly read that they do possess a "warmth" to them. BTW, I have an AT33EV for a cart on my Classic right now. Was looking for a Dynavector or Soundsmith Zephyr but got a nice deal on the AudioTechnica. Thanks

Hi Hickbone,

I have bought all my Transp Ref shand at cents on the dollar. Even the older stuff from a number of years ago is still very good imho. Good luck. BTW, CArdas Golden Ref is very, very good too. good luck.
