Interconnect & Power Cord f/ Sony SCD-1?

I recommend Virtual Image power cables, the Sledgehammer and Pile Driver, and interconnects, Pile Driver 18. The V.I. interconnects replaced Straightwire Crescendo's and the Sledgehammer PC's replaced Ensemble Mega's. I the upgraded from the Sledgehammers to the Pile Drivers. You can contact Virtual Image at virtualimage@juno.com if you are interested in trying their cables. They do offer a 30 day trial policy on their standard cables. You can read more of what I have written about the Virtual Image cables by searching the discussion forums here on Audiogon, search key word(s) - " virtual image"

I'm using Audience Au24 XLR ic's and the Foundation Research LC-1 passive in-line power conditioner (I use one for each component) with my SCD-1.

The Au24 interconnects and speaker cables are in my opinion perhaps very close to the best yet at a very reasonable price.

And the Foundation Research LC-1s and LC-2s are the very best line conditioner/power cable according to Marty DeWulf of Bound for Sound. And the LCs come with their own built-in power cable and cost about as much as a good power cable.

-IMO

I agree with Stehno with the FR LC-1. Email me direct and I can tell you about al the cords I tried with the Sony and which ones did what. I use the AZ Sil Ref ICs inmy system, have never tried the Audience.

Happy Listening.
