Persona 5f, Wharfedale Elyse in walnut is very attractive 
Need highly transparent detailed amp---how does Pass XA25 compare to Gamut D100/D200 MKIII
dorbyUnfortunately I have never listened to the Chord. But you can save yourself some money with the 680, as the 780 I have I purchased as a demo for same price as new 680. They sound very similar.

I also have a complete Simaudio system and it is really really nice. I recommend them as well. 740 preamp, 860 amp, 780 streamer/DAC

Power Cables diminishing returns
@brownsfan Completely agree with you. I upgraded from stock to all Frey 2 over the past year and it made a significant difference in my system. I also use Frey2 or TYR2 (speaker cable) for my interconnects especially the XLR. Thrilled with what it... 
An EXPERIMENT for those who have never heard differences in cables
I can say honestly that in the 15 years I have been an audiophile and most of my life being a musician. I am convinced that cables, especially powers cables make a significant difference in the sound. As do speaker cables and interconnects. It’s n...

I have a room about that size and I have a McIntosh 252 integrated and using Paradigm Persona B bookshelves. Great sound! 
I think some cables are just a little too expensive.
There is a diminishing return element to all the components in audio. I agree that $65,000 for cables is utterly ridiculous. But again, it is up to people to make their own decisions regarding their own money.

No contradiction. Participation doesn’t get a trophy. Participation is an opportunity and sometimes in the pursuit of such the ball doesn’t bounce your way. Grow up.

I have also listened to many AudioQuest cables and they have a slightly dark sound. May be a good fit. Look up the CV8. Not very expensive and good quality. As I have stated here previously, I prefer and use Nordost. TYR2 and Frey2 are both extrem...

It would be helpful if everyone posting would leave their opinions regarding how much people spend. If one wants to spend a lot on cables and they hear a difference then they can. If they don’t they don’t. This is not a site for politics and the e...

I find Nordost cables to be generally very good
