Cables are just the "B" section


Spending a king's ransom on cables is very nice, but a little prudence at the source- the power from the wall- will go al lot farther to get you to audio nirvana. Electronic Specialists Inc. (www.elect-spec.com) make in line RFI/Surge/Spike units (that have to be installed in a dedicated line, probably by an electrician) that blow the audiophile stuff away by miles. The units are not cheap ($100-200), but the improavement is startling. I go an 20 AMP laboratory grade in line for muy dedicated amp line, and the results were magical. I Plan to use a 15 amp unit for my digital line. Get with the program: stop giving companies like Nordost their retirement chacks.

You can also purchase external parallel filters and surge protectors that operate similarly. Often, they're slightly cheaper.
These also offer an advantage in that the filter can be a short cable run away fm the component.
