With all the cables you're using, why not check out the more affordable Stealth cable listings (click on "Pricing") on www.InterlinkHouse.com/. I have a full complement of them in my system, and it's never sounded nearly so good.
What is the weakest link in my C system
Looking for a sound advice on the tweaks in my "budget" system, which I'm pretty satisfied with, but the quest is always to make the sound a little better. CD player: Cal Audio DX-1, analog out via Straightwire LSI Encore to Adcom GFP 565 preamp; bypass out to Rotel RB-980BX via Straightwire LaserLink and normal out to NHT SA-2 via Radioshack gold; and then Kimber 4TC from the Rotel to NHT Super Zeros and BIG copper caples from SA-2 to NHT SW2. I am in the process of finding/making High Pass filter in the signal between Pre- and Power-amp to improve the headroom of the Super Zeros (any advise on that would be great!) So what cables do should I replace (never mind the Radio Shack, thats temporary) , and with what at reasonable prices? (I'm still in Graduate School). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
