Where to put best interconnects
Getting a new tube pre-amp into tube mono blocks with one CDP as front end. Will have one very good, new set of XLRs to use and one good but much older set, each at 1.5M. Where to place the better set?

try it in both places. You don’t want a bottleneck between pre and amp. Tone, focus, imaging, soundstage are mostly attributes of preamp and amp (speakers too of course but we’re talking interconnect). Yes source matters but I assume you already have a decent source and you definitely have a decent cable in transparent. I bet the system would shine much brighter with a better cable on pre to amp. But I’ve been wrong before…definitely try though. |
