Musical Fidelity A5.5 CD vs X-Ray V3, and related

Anyone else miss audiophile nervosa?

Cables for Conrad Johnson and Proac D25 system
If anything, the CJ/Proac combo is a bit dark (nicely so), and a bit of extra sparkle would be good. The last thing I'd want is a dull, rolled-off-in-the-highs result. I've yet to hear a bright British speaker. 
Cables for Conrad Johnson and Proac D25 system
