Favorite phono cable?
@vinylvalet  awesome thanks. I will look into them. I had been looking at Transparent but I will check these out.  
Hi Res from iPhone vs AppleTV sound
@lalitk  it’s all good. I prefer vinyl. I only did this with my old phone because my DAC was capable.  I like to learn. 🙂

Also @lalitk  I wanted to thank k you for turning me on to Audio Envy cables.

@mahler123  AppleTV caps at 24/48 and only has HDMI out. Which is a bummer.   @lalitk  I’ve never seen Masonna, Controlled Bleeding, Trepaneringsritualen and early Swedish black metal in high res. Some of them barely do vinyl as it is.

I’m all about the vinyl. I was just messing around with the CCK. Sounds good now.   99% of the music I like will never exist in high res.  
My Amp is good but probably the weak point
@avanti1960  my only experience with tubes want positive so I’d rather stay solid state. In the very beginning I was really looking at the CMII

@mofojo  none. I heard about people having issues with Odyssey amps and preamps but mine, along with the Athena (which is unity gain) is dead quiet.

I get it, I’m looking for refinement yet my speakers are less than refined. I also get the Klipsch hate and it’s fine.   I’ll have to ponder my next move.

@panzrwagn funny you mention Monitor Audio. At a local speaker fest thing they had a pair of MO bookshelf speakers. Pretty sure they were Gold 100 and around $2500 and they were a stand out. All speakers were using a Parasound HINT and it was my ...

@dynamiclinearity  I do have weights on you and currently have them on jockey picks. I’ve been researching GAIA feet for them but not sure how that would work. It’s a cncrete slab so not sure what they would bring to the table.

@mitchagain  yes and I have been scoping both.   @atl4love  true and I’m definitely open to going class a. My ambivalence about Pass is both price and I read they are a very laid back amp which isn’t something I necessary looking for. The xa25 w...

@arcticdeth  Heresy IV’s aren’t like previous versions. The top end is surprisingly smooth and refined. I too listen to death metal aling with black ambient, death industrial and power noise. The Heresys don’t disappoint.

@thecarpathian  I do very much. Which is why I’m still pondering upgrading the crap out of the amp.   @audioman58  no doubt the Coda is amazing. I’ve been eying a #8 and also a S5.5 (all class a). It’d be a big upgrade but wondering if it’s the ...

All, thanks again for all the opinions. Regardless of wether I agree, I am happy to get them anyway. it’s true I like my Heresies, so with that said, in my signal chain what do you consider the weak point?

I’m struggling to quantify what it is I want to improve on. Imaging, refinement and probably more presence, if that makes sense.
