So my system had reasonable components and cables and I had albums that sounded very good and others that sounded less than stellar.
Some pressings sounded well engineered and pressed whilst others seemed to lack the same amount of finesse.
I embarked upon a journey of discovery with my cables and over the years, with the introduction of better cables, the system was refined way beyond my expectations. And, to my delight, the recordings that previously seemed to lack finesse actually came to life, providing a listening experience the equaled the best pressings I had.
My components are "modest" , compared to others in the market, but the cables are among the best out there. Unfortunately, the cables are DIY, but Hijiri is one of a few brands that can achieve "Audio Nivana"
So take a look at your cables, they do make a noticeable improvement
