Analog Front End Next Upgrade

What IC's are you using from the phono to the amp?
Are you using the standard power cables on the Lehman?

I've found cables make a more noticeable difference on components in this price range

All your front end components are very good. A $2000 upgrade to any of them will not make any significant improvements, but quality cables will.

Take a look at the KLE Innovations web site.

Their gZero20 IC's are superb value (if you are using phono), but even theri gZero6 cables are exceptionally good for the money

Their power cables look to be very good also.

@cbl117 - I still think that with the great components you have the absolute best bang for your buck would be to upgrade your cables.

The Cardas cables you have are pretty good, but the gZero20 interconnect from KLE Innovations will give you more detail and clarity and a very much improved image and spatial isolation of the performers.

If that’s a little on the expensive side try the gZero3 - it’s also outstanding and by comparison to the gZero 20 will only be lacking a little on the details and clarity - but it’s still a superb performer.

They do not come with a ground wire, but that can be a very simple fix by using a small gauge wire from a store like Radio Shack and a couple of spades on the end. Personally - I prefer a separate ground wire anyway.

Replacing the RCA plugs on your existing cables will also provide many improvements if replacing the cables is not an option.

My recommendations for RCA’s are the Silver Harmony or the Absolute Harmony. The Pure harmony is very good RCA , but for that little $extra you can get the Absolute Harmony for the very best performance

Here are the links to my reviews...

These RCA’s really raise the performance level of any cable to its utmost best - you will be amazed! But the break-in period is quite long.

The KLE Innovations cables and RCA’s are extremely neutral and exceptionally dynamic.
