Hi Dave; at this point in your audio/music interest, I'd suggest not getting too hung up on such things as inter-connects, power cords, and speaker cables. Concentrate on the basics of a good system whatever your budget is-- this would include source, pre-amp, amp (or integrated amp), and speakers. Initially consider modestly priced but good quality ICs and spkr cables-- a trusted dealer can help here. Power cords, ICs and other wires get discussed here, sometimes heatedly, because they are controversial-- especially when it comes to cost vs perfromance. and also because most experienced audiophiles already have what they want in components. So for now, I'd suggest focusing on the basics, many of which have been discussed in the above posts. Welcome, and Cheers. Craig.
I m a beginner. Please help
hello, everyone. i started to get into the audiophile's world a month ago. i would like to learn about what separate components i need to have in order to enjoy the best quality of sound! it looks like many people spend their money on power chords and power plants etc. do they really make a differnce in sound? or is this all one big hype? i would think that a cd player, a pre-amp, a pow. amp, and a pair of speakers would be enough to hear.
