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.
