This sounds amazing--not to mention it is just brilliant music all around. The recording made me think that my system is just fine--if not fantastic (for me). I’ve been critic... | |

| Where is the weakest link in my system? Jafant,I'm using generic cabling. For the loudspeakers, I'm using good quality in-wall 14gauge wire from monoprice. The digital coaxial cable is some $20 model. My turntable has the original Roksan tonearm wire--it's DIN to RCA and not thin ju... | |
