One HUGE factor you may have missed is that new cables need break-in time. This is no joke. Give new cables at least 200 hours break-in. When new, a good or even a great pair of cables can sound like crap. Hope this helps.
Cables ... what's up with them?
Can't quite come to terms with spending significant amounts on cables / interconnects. Looking for moderately priced IC's, I came across Phantom Cables (at infinitecables.com; $100 for 3 ICs). Figured had to sound better than the stuff that came with the cable box and DVR I bought. A marked downgrade in audio enjoyment transpired. Which is true?
Better cables revealed weaknesses elsewhere in the system?
Have to spend WAY more to get real improvement?
I have gritty tastes
Right now I'm sold on the crap that came with the cable box
