Unity in cable manufacturers?
I would say technically no - you can use whatever works best for a given connection. That being said, I currently use Transparent Super for all analog connections and AudioQuest Carbon for HDMI and Optical connections. The system is based around ...

Supper's Ready
Second's Out is one of my favorite albums. I am a huge Genesis fan and like both eras but at the end of the day I prefer the Collins versions of all the songs overall. I am also a fan of Peter Gabriel and while Genesis would not be Genesis withou... 
Transparent vs Synergistic Research?
For what is worth Transparent are consistent in their "levels" of cables and simply update the generation. I run Transparent Ultra Generation 6 analogs for Interconnects and speaker runs. Love the the stuff. When I went from Super Gen 5 to Ultra ... 
Best live album you've ever heard?
Genesis - Second's Out and Three Sides Live Over the years I tended to like the live versions of most of the songs until they started to have to step the pitch down as Phil got older. Also there was an introduction of some off vocal effects. But...

2022 Audio System Wish List and thoughts about streaming
I am fairly all in on my Linn LP12 and just need to add the Keel sub chases and Kandid cartridge to bring it all the way up. Very happy where it is now however.   May get a Degritter for vinyl cleaning.   Perhaps an Audi A6 All-road or Audi Q8...

While I have bought and sold a bunch of stuff over the years I currently have a turntable, preamp/DAC, amp, streamer/music server, and a set of speakers. Also the cables to put it all together. While I spent a boat load of cash on a high end TT -...
