Jeff Rowland Pre-Amps: The Corus & The Capri

I you like Cardas cables try the Clear ... it is much better than the Golden Ref

start with the loudspeakers cables and then tell us

what sense does it makes to buys new preamp when 50% of the "better signal" will not be transmitted by your golden ref ??

good luck

ciao

I dont agree with that comment and don't believe that cables are the main ingredient to define a system. They are an added flavoring on the top of the cake.

Cables are very important. And power cords. There are better, much better cables for your system and your room. Probably more expensive too but not necessarilly. Please give it a thought especially since you intend to upgrade.

I really like the Cardas Golden Reference Cables. In addition, I believe the quality of the system is more determined by the ampp, pre-amp, speakers, source, and room.

Of course. However, the connections between the components should not be underestimated. Power cords can make a big difference too, the degree of it varies. When I put Custom Power Cord Co. Top Gun on my Audiolab integrated the improvement was incredible. No, it didn't start sounding like Rowland. There was already good power cord there before, by the way. Now I have a much better integrated but I didn't compare power cords yet, I just put the same Top Gun and it works great.
