High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
Charles1dad - Sounds like a really good fit to me. I have been getting exactly what you seem to be looking for out of the High Fidelity ics.. :-) 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
It totally depends on your system. I had CT-1E's which were very nice and opened up after 20 hours, and again at about 100 hours. I currently have CT-1 Ultimate ics between source and preamp and at about 150 hours, they are finally starting to ope...

Do you have 1 on your amp? If not, that's where the next P-4 should go.

Wow - pretty impressive. Sounds like Rick may have hit it out of the park again!

Once you put it on your CD/DAC, I doubt you'll take it off. :-)

I am selling my barely used 4 meter "special order" Diamond 3 power cord which has been replaced by a 3 meter Diamond 4 power cord, as it no longer fits my system.

PC to the CD player. 
Esoteric K-03 or K-01
Sorry = I left out "for a price" $$$ :-)

Denon 1- The p-4 is quieter with a bit more bass weight and upper end extension out of the bag. As a thicker cable, it also takes longer to break in than the P-3. My p-4s are not broken in yet, so I can't tell you where they will be sonically in 3... 
Esoteric K-03 or K-01
Thanks Denon1. The K-01 will sound great through the XLR 3s and the rest of your system will just come alive. It is absolutely not overkill - you will be amazed at what comes out of your "modest" system. Future upgrade path would include a preamp ... 
Esoteric K-03 or K-01
I would definitely agree with Guido. I have a recent K-03 in my office (a bit of overkill for an office system, I know) running through a Melody integrated. The sound is amazing. Having said that, I have also demoed the K-01 and it is in a differe...

No problem - I am curious what cables they are replacing and what speakers you are using, regardless of how you like the D8's

B- depends on how resolving your system is. The answer to your question is exactly what you would think it would be. Again, all systems are different. I now have p-4s from the wall to the P-10s and from the P-10s to the amps. Better than p-3s and ... 
K-01 and the effect of adding an ext clock
As I said above......Nice system, E2 :-) 
K-01 and the effect of adding an ext clock
You would be wasting both your time and money with the G-03x. The internal clock of the K-01 is better than the G-03x. If you can't afford the Esoteric rubidium clock, be happy with the K-01 and make improvements elsewhere in your system. Even wit...
