Volume Control

Thanks everyone for the responses. Indeed cables do play part in how the system sounds and mix and match mandatory. I have tried many many AQ i/c and some other Cardas cables until the GX is put in. I shall spend more time to listen and enjoying the music more so.

Hifiman5 interestingly it is a vinyl system. Golden Cross is used between the phono pre and the main amplifier. The last chain in the system is a pair of Omega Super 3 XRS with a sub augmenting the lowest frequency range below approximately 80hz.

Opus88 I absolutely agreed. Music were mixed down from prerecorded sessions especially for pop music. The so called imaging, localisation, tonal balance etc etc were products of mastering. Perhaps classical music recordings using minimal miking could present a truer stereo. I guess some cables are capable of taming those illusions and in doing so you enjoy more of the music.

Thank you guys
