Amp Internal Wire
I could imagine the stuff before the transformer affecting the DC supply’s voltage stability. But without a measurement showing it, it seems more hopeful than factual. The stuff after the power supply is harder to measure.

How do you hijack a thread when you start with a premise that reads more like an acid trip than anything suitable for meaningful discussion? If two sounds are exactly the same, but you perceive them differently on different days, the sound didn’t... 
Amp Internal Wire
Rickysnit, I've done this, both the power inlet, fuse holder and internal wire to transformer, and the speaker wire from amp board to binding posts (along with upgrading binding posts), in a Perreaux PMF3150.  Also replaced the RCA inlets with KL... 
Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ?
Weird question. Why would any "subset" sound better through a CD player ? it would this week with the local internet’s being down. (And also in a vehicle out of range if towers.)

Knowing Mundorf is amazing and silver makes a great sonic difference. How do we know ^those two things^ are true?  
OK...here's another tweak that really works
@ holmz We may have to agree to disagree on some points. I know there is always a psychological element at work, but if you have been around a lot of live acoustic music, played an acoustic instrument or been in the hobby for an extended period ...

Would There be a Significant Difference
Hi Mike -   What is it that you are looking to improve or is deficient?     You have nice equipment as it is.  I would not zero in on the preamp as a potential limiting factor. Rich +1 It seems like it could be easy to go backwards or sta... 
Best Type of Interconnect for Turntable?
@nyev maybe a picture of the optional phono card? It looks like it has 2 inputs that are balanced, so I would be using a balanced IC as opposed to RCAs. Which means that the TT should have balanced connectors. I have one tone arm that has a DIN...

  "Rhythm and Pace" is a term that’s been in use for many, many decades and how you don’t see it having any meaning in "this context" is baffling to me, unless you’re under, say, 20 years of age, and have no appreciation for what’s gone on befor... 
Is blasphemous Music ok?
Is it ok for those who follow false gods to use derogative language against the true believers? @pedroeb are the true believers the Jews, Christians, Muslims, Morons, Hindus, or what?  
OK...here's another tweak that really works
There are those who can not accept a product unless it makes perfect technical sense. I respect that, but experientially if it works, then why not enjoy the ride instead letting the lack of logic be a barrier. I personally like to know how a thin...

Clock designed by human beings. They made up the numbers on it. Birds have no numbers, no clocks. Is it 9am for the birds? Maybe a coo coo clock for you and your avian types then? 🤗
