Hi Steven; I also use Syn. Res. cables-- Signature No. 2-- sort of in the middle of their line, and they used to be Stereophile recommended. I also use their ICs and power cords. I personally believe that the highest value in cables, ICs and PCs is in the middle and even lower priced end of name brand products, but I suppose it depends on the cost of your components. Excellent products. Cheers. Craig.
