I tried a Music First classic, all silver. In my system it sounded thin, dry and bad. Not sure why, MF thought it was the silver, my friend who brought it over said it sounded great in all 4 systems he has had it in. I'm also trying to have less boxes and less cords, Etc. That's why the all in one approach. Open to other ideas. BTW, my cabling is Synergistic which has proven to be great in my room.
