Interconnects be as neutral as possible?
You just have to get started, and decide what cables are right for your system. Simple as that. Audition first, and then buy. It doesn't matter if most people think the ones you try are "neutral", or not. It's an overused expression, and no cable ...

I am from a southern state, and, although I dream of working in CA sometime, I don't think the south is so bad at all. I've visited the northeast several times, and feel it is WAY overrated! Homes that cost around $700,000 in my area now, cost abo...

Last year, I compared my MIT 330 SG ($750) to the most recent version of Transparent Reference ($2100) (RCA versions only), and the Transparent was very laid back and bright, but also "fast" and relatively clean. I've never heard a system with a T... 
CD Player with Volume out for
You can't get a CD55 for under $1500, but you knew that, didn't you?

Plsl: Perhaps that is true, and someday I'd like to work out there. 
Cable advice
"and let loose the dogs of war..." Ok, I dare to recommend MIT Terminator 2, if Audio Advisor still has them close-out priced. I hope you will consider investing in room treatments also, if you want to hear what's on the recording.

Phill, it's between Robert Harley, me, and you. I side with us. Why don't you tell me what is more dynamic than this interconnect, then, since you think you know so much? I've tried more cables than you, so why am I even answering you? There isn't... 
I'm thinking of a Bottlehead 2A3 kit.
Thanks, they're $399 the pair, with Chinese 2A3's.

Trelja, sorry the Legacies disappointed you so much. I'm in no hurry to hear them. I like my system right now. 
home made speaker cable vs. the big boys
I agree with that, Kacz! Pop music is about what will sound good in a convertible at 90 mph, and always will be. Whatever sounds best to those who primarily listen this way is what wins Grammys... 
The BEST system you've ever built !!!!
Need you even ask such a question?

Plsl, no, that comment of mine wasn't directed at you at all. I'm sorry if you construed it that way, it was directed at someone else who uttered a phrase nearly identical to my paraphrase. That was NOT you, it was someone different; he knows who ...

Keep it up, Phill, you're destined for banishment. Then who'll be the crybaby? 
How, all this obsession started
I've been interested in music and audio since 1980. My first full length album purchase was on vinyl, "Pyromania", back in 1984. I got sucked into "highend" with a free issue offer from Stereophile back in 1994. My ears are unbelievably happier, a...

Audiogon, is there a reason Phill is still allowed to post here? All of his posts referring to me personally should be deleted, they are wasting your server's electricity. Is there a reason you like having his personal attacks of me on here? If so...
