I believe you'll find most postings about these cables to be positive regarding tonal neutrality, dynamic expression and a great value to boot. They serve as the mate between my preamp and poweramp. I would strongly recommend you read about them and if possible get a loaner pair from The Cable Company to try with your gear. Happy listening! Phil

So I appreciate the recommendation on the interconnects I will check those out also. Dan

They truly are like comfortable,well-made shoes. Once you put them on, you stop shopping....which is not to say there aren't better cables out there...but I doubt there are at this price point. They've also been stereophile class A and TAS recommended for several years running, FWIW.
