Before you spend a lot of money consider the Audioquest Quartz/Hyperlitz3. I have two(2)pair for sale at auction. This would be a minimal investment to ascertain whether or not a more expevsive interconnect is the solution. If they don't sell at auction I'll sell you one pair at a good price. You can reach me dirctly at scmca@pacbell.net. Also you could consider going right out and buying a new and higher priced connector, in that case consider calling Brown Electronic Labs. (408)259-8648 and inquiring re: their P1 interconnect, $195(1-meter pair). These are designed and manufactured by Richard Brown, designer of BEL power amps. Finally go to www.verber.com/mark/cables.htm and read the artcle on Cable Nonsense written by John Dunlavy. Hope this helps.
