My system is not exactly what you are listening to, but close. I have an ARC LS15 driving a VT130 into Martin Logan SL3's. The front end is a Sony SACD into a Timbre DAC for CD play and the Sony by itself for SACD's I am very happy with this system. However, it wasn't to many months ago I was ready to drive the whole system down to the beach and dump it off the Huntington Beach pier. I blame my dealer somewhat with for my delima.
To your question, my dealer finally talked me into trying upgraded cables (interconnects, speaker cable). I was the one who used to say all cables are the same (wouldn't go so far as some who say there is no differenc from Radio Shack speaker wire to expensive cables). He sent me home with Transparent Audio (like you balanced) Super interconnects and Transparent Audio Super speaker cable. Since then I have upgraded again to the Ultra's. The aurgument will be why does one have to pay half again for cableing to benefit from expensive equipment, sorry can't answer that but it does work. Many will say that the likes of Transparent Audio and Mit cableing, with the networks inline, role off the top and bottom, I don't experience that at all. Good luck..........Bob
