You might have tried this already but if not, try using cone-points under your speakers, cd player, and TT. Also, an outboard amp (if your receiver have pre-outs)will make your Ref. 60 open up. I saw an ad here in A'gon for a Threshold S500 series II(250w/ch class A-AB) for $1500 a while ago. I am not sure if it is still here but with this amp, your Paradigms will shine to your pleasure. For cables (speaker and ICs) try the DIY route if you want to save. There's a guy here (I believe "Subaruguru", his name is Ernie? if I am not mistaken) that sells DIY power cord kits at very reasonable price but with outstanding performance, maybe you can try that too.
As for DIYs, do a search for DIY kits on speaker cables and ICs here at Audiogon and I believe there are quite a few members here who can provide you with your needs. I hope this helps....
