Which cables and ic's would you choose?

I second the Virtual Dynamics cable package. I loved his PC so much I outfitted the whole system with the reference stuff. Rick now offers cryogenic freezing for all cables if you are interested.

My system is nothing like yours, but I will second Famaraca's recommendation of the Siltech SQ-28G3 as a nice cable.

Hi Cyrus. The two fellars who recommended the Virtual Dynamics to you have really educated me on this product line. I have three of Rick's Power 2 PCs which really opened up the sound of my system. And as Buck mentioned they are now offering cryogenic freezing for all their cables and cords. I've ordered the complete Audition package with the full cryo treatment and should receive them in a few weeks. I'll post a review after break-in, if you can wait that long.

Cyrus-I am running Avalons(Eclipse) with a similar accuphase digital front end(DC-300) I am currently using Cardas Golden Reference and enjoy it very much, though I am planning on upgrading to Jena Labs shortly(symphony line) the only others I would consider seriously would be tara labs the "one", Nordost Valhalla and Transparent opus all great cables and would do a good job in your system.

I would try Siltech LS-180 G3 and FTM-4 SG or SQ-88 if you have to go XLR. Purist Maximus,Dominus series and FIM GOLD which now is recommended by Avalon.
Use the cable which makes you happy :-)
Good Luck
