Mix & Match Interconnects


For ease of system synergy, how many of you use the same interconnect between your source and pre amp as you use between your pre amp and power amp?

Vs.

How many of you seek out the best performer for the position in your system?

I use the same companies product but different quality levels depending on the situation. In my case, different versions of Purist Audio's products.

Since I am primarily a two channel guy, I cannot justify the "best" cable for side channels in HT set up. In other words, common sense and a balance of performance to value.
I've mixed and matched quite a bit over the years, but I'm currently living happily with the synergistic sound of my whole system (2 channel only) wired with the same interconnect/speaker cable. The Tara Labs Decade.
I suggest using the best interconnects between your preamp and amp. This is the heart of your electronics. I find that you can get away with less between your cd player and the preamp. It's OK to mix companies, but you can probably achieve the most with one company.
