In my system, the power cords made the most significant difference. I started at the CDP with my best cord and added one at a time and listening to the same song over and over til I got the speaker cables added. I tested several cords and cables and the Shunyata got the place in my system. You could spend quited a bit on Shunyata power cords and they are worth it IMO. A budget plan for Shunyata would be an old Cobra Red label or python for the cdp, and a Diamond back for the integrated. this would be under $700 used here. You could go with python helix if you have more budget and put them everywhere like I did. I started with the budget cords I mentioned and eventually sold and replaced with new helix. you could get more lower on the budget. What would your budget be on PC's.
