It's been a while and nice to be creeping back in to the game!
My system has sat pretty still for a while and some recent changes have made it a bit lean and quick. The most recent culprit are MG Audio planus III speaker wire. Amazing detail and extension. And fast. A bit too fast for my system: I initially loved them, and still really appreciate their attributes, but these old dog's ears got tired.
So, I am looking to slow things down into a more of a comfy zone. I am thinking of new speaker cable and perhaps a set of interconnects and could use some insights...
The speaker cables that look good to me are: -Tara Labs, the One or Two +/-EX -Purist Audio Venusta -Kubala Sosna Emotion
The Interconnects are the same-ish. I try one instead of one of my Gabriel Gold Infusions: -Tara Labs, the One or Two +/-EX -Purist Audio Venusta -Jade Audio Hybrid Gold
Hi Diamond 8's or Auditorium 23 are both outstanding speaker cables. I also have enjoyed the Grover Huffman cables. They are inexpensive but as good as any cables I have heard Alan
Have you considered taking the brass cones out from under some of your components? Aftermarket footers are not necessarily an improvement. It seems to me people have gotten so conditioned to believing that they must replace the stock footers, which is not always true. If your sound is muddy, brass footers can sometimes lean out the sound, but you seem to have the opposite problem.
I will be selling off most of my second system and the cables are Grover Huffman Zx purchased new by me last summer. I have interconnects and speaker cables. If your interested email me and maybe we can work something out.
