Mgottlieb Thanks for your post! I too have found the most significant differences in sound when swaping out IC's from between the pre & power. I've also noticed a similar effect in swaping AC power cords between components. While one can hear differences between different cords I swear that my CDP benefits most from the better quality AC cords. Mike
Cumulative Effects of Cables?
If one is useing a specific interconnect cable between a cd player and a preamp and that cable has a certain "sweetness" - then when you add another identical interconnect between the preamp and the power amp, does the new interconnect add more "sweetness" or is the sonic effect limited to the sound the cable produces on its own? Can anyone comment on this subject?
