IC's from pre-pro to amp
Not sure what is "cheap", but I'd go for PNF Audio. Precision A or ICON either one will probably give you great results. Best cables I've ever found for the dollar spent. 
cable recommendations
If you want best bang for the buck, try PNF Audio. it will impart the least sonic signature of its own on your system and will do what a cable should, cleanly transfer a signal. The PNF Symphony speaker cables and ICON ic's together can't be beat ... 
Old vs New Dacs - Best Bang for buck???
Check out the MHDT DAC's. Lots of info here about them. I tried some of the other reasonably priced DACs and in my system, the MHDT just sounded more "musical" than any other. I've stuck with it for quite a while and would probably only get rid of... 
Cable confusion and questions.
Timrhu hits the nail on the head! PNF Audio does that for me. There are other good ones out there that don't cost an arm & a leg as well. I've tried LOTS of them but PNF has been the best, long term value for me. That doesn't mean Kimber or AQ... 
Looking for an XLR to XLR IC to add warmth
PNF Audio ICON. Best I've ever found for the dollar spent. 
what does it mean by
Herman is pretty close to the reality of how most homes are set up. If you want a TRUE "dedicated line", it requires another input/breaker to your home from the outside. Now, the thing you have to remember is that this may not buy you much if the ... 
looking for interconnect under 200 dollars
Discussions about cables are always so fascinating; they bring out every nuance of thought about audio that there is! I've said this before and I'll say it again, a cable should not have a "sound". Now, the reality is, all cables DO have a "sound"... 
Good amp for Klyne....
Thanks for all of the feddabck and discussion folks! I am still enjoying my SK5A immensely. If I ever decide to go to another line-stage, I'd probably keep the Klyne for its phono stage, which is just incredible. I've settled in on a pair of Rawso... 
What is the best RCA interconnect?
Cables, the land of Snake Oil.... My personal loom is all PNF Audio because I've found for the dollar spent, they do what a cable SHOULD do better than any other I've tried..... 
Can you recommend cables with good PRAT?
Try PNF Audio... best cables you'll find for the dollar! Now, the abilities of a "cable" to give you PRAT is a little dubious at best. What a cable SHOULD do is properly transmit PRAT, or any other proeprty of the other components in your system, ... 
interconnect suggestions
PNF Audio ICON.... best cable I've ever used. Try 'em and you won't be sorry! 
Speaker cables where to begin?
PNF Audio Symphony speaker cables and ICON ic's. Best cable for the dollar spent that I've ever found. Steve at PNF is a great guy to work with as well.... 
The Hub: Okay. It's all my fault.
I actually thought the "Heater Ad" was absoolutely hilarious. Too bad some folks sense of humor is a little lacking in depth. I also find it interesting that we have to tell folks how to write a good (or even mediocre) ad. I knew I should have lis... 
Good amp for Klyne....
Thanks for the replies folks, appreciate them all. I did call and get a chance to talk directly to Stan Klyne and he was very helpful; nice guy! 
Preamp with phono stage for under $1000
Audible Illusions Modulus 3 is one of the best. They can usually be had for well under 1K. There's also the 3A, but some listeners like the original 3 better, probably because the circuit is simpler. I had one for some time and the only reason I d...
