One takeway I got from these forums is that the most important part of a audio system is the quality of the source equipment and associated equipment, speakers, and from MC, Townsend speaker stands. Speaker cables, interconnects and power cords are, to me, important but secondary levels of consideration, with interconnects being the most "tweakish of the lot. On interconnects, I will not go crazy over "5-nines silver". Well constructed copper cables are good enough for me. I will go a bit higher on speaker cables.
