High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
I cannot make that comparison. The only reason I am using HiDiamonds there is because Rick didn't yet make a balanced cable. Also, the HiDiamond distributor in Canada raved about them. They are performing well in my system. Comparing balanced with... 
VAC sigma vs Vac phi 200.
How do you connect the LS17 with the Phi 200? INTERCONNECTS. Interconnects in the signal chain have potential to add distortion, noise, etc., etc. Are also an added expense and a potential limiting factor in your system. Which preamp/linestage is ... 
How much better is Esoteric K-03 vs K-05?
K-03 has a better transport and DAC implementation. K-05 is good, K-03 is considerably better, K-01 is the best single-box solution Esoteric makes. I own a K-03 in my office system and its REALLY good. K-05 doesn't have as much sonic "weight". Wit...

Jriggy-I have a 4m P-3 barely used(25 hours) that just got freed up and could use another 2m p-3 or p-4 in pristine condition. If that's what you have, please pm me with your proposal. 
KR Audio VA340 MKII vs Melody AN 845
I too have a Melody AN845, purchased from Hugh last October after hearing it at RMAF. It is the centerpiece of my new office system and I couldn't be happier. This is my first foray into SET and in addition to its cool appearance, it really sounds... 
Review: High Fidelity Cables CT-1 Interconnect Interconnect
An easier, less expensive idea would be to just rent what you want to try from the Cable Company. I'm pretty sure they stock most of them. Be sure to inquire how many hours are on whichever you decide to rent. 
Review: High Fidelity Cables CT-1 Interconnect Interconnect
These cables do not tune the sound like the others you mention. They simply get out of the way, so will reflect what is fed to them. Due to the very low noise floor, there is a greater level of detail that comes through, unaltered from the origina... 
Speakers for VAC sigma 160i -- need inputs
And the VR-5 Annies use the same mid-range driver as the $90K VSA VR-9SE. Plus they are way better speakers than the EA's above. Check the reviews.

I totally agree with Knghifi. The cables are not designed to fix flaws in your system, but rather to expose them with their transparency. I wouldn't expect them to do what you are hoping for unless you have isolated your problem to the preamp pc.

I thought I would insert a comment here.I have now had the CT-1 Ultimate ics for about a month between my CD player and preamp. The transparency and realism is amazing. They are apparently just starting to seriously break in at about 200 hours. I ...

Von Schweickert used VR-5 Anniversaries 
VAC sigma vs Vac phi 200.
VAC integrated - higher quality components, no ic to distort sound. 
Who has used a PMR?
I just got one of these in my system. It works - better focus, voices are more clear and separation is better. I have a big TV between my main speakers and this works much better than having to move the TV. Still playing with positioning. I have a...
