I’ve upgraded every cable and component minus integrated amplifier and speakers. The greatest improvement was adding the Shunyata Everest and power cables noted in my system description. These were also the most expensive cables in my system. I did so through a vendor that provided a great price, free shipping and sixty day no questions asked return policy. This policy actually cost me money, because I found out that within the Shunyata line, more money meant better performance.
Worth upgrading my cables?
I’ve made a ton of updates to my system over the last six months and now I’m wondering if my cables need some attention. Here are my questions:
- Based on my system, and current caballing (description bellow), do you think I would recognize a noticeable improvement by updating my cables?
- If yes, which cables would you prioritize (speaker, interconnects, power)?
- Lastly do you have any specific recommendations.
Current system:
- Technics SL-1200G (Hana SL) --> Manley Chinook --> Manley Jumbo Shrimp --> Finale Audio Classic 300B monoblocks --> Klipsch Heresy IV
- All interconnects are Morrow Audio MA1
- Speaker cable Canare 4S11 Star Quad Bi Wire
- Power cables Tripp Lite Heavy Duty , 15A, 14AWG
Thanks for your thoughts!

I’ve seen your post on many threads and you seem to have a great deal of experience and your suggestions seem well thought out, yet your absolute position on cabling is perplexing. Most people that spend a good bit on cabling do so through listening. I admit that some changes are subtle, but others are not. |
DH Labs new “Cryo” cables are worth looking at and they have a solid money back trial period. I’ve not used them but @blisshifi (Juan) has extensive experience with these cables. Juan was one of a trifecta of experts that really helped me with my system. |
