Steve, Thank you for taking the time to post such an informative description on the subject of cables. I buy into the contribution of high quality connecting cables between components up to a point of cost/benefit. The value of a power supply unit costing 4 figures is questionable for me, given the stability and lack of interfering noise on my rural electric supply. I am really curious about Lordmelton's suggestion to try HiFi Tuning gold plated silver fuses, I assume on my Threshold amp. I wil explore that. Thanks all.
