I would not recommend Museus power cord for your amp, though. Not enough current capability.

Really good cables are never sold in bulk. I would not buy this Audioquest at any price.Best $1000 cables for your system can be Purist Audio Museus new. This should take you half way.

Is the Vinyl Revival well and growing?
No-one knows for how long even the best pressing under optimal conditions can survive. 200 years? 300 years? Whatever you do, any way you try to copy analog, without any digital interference, there is the end. Replicative fading.  
Is this out there
ghosthouse, this is terrible and very inadvanced.

I rarely upgrade but when I do I jump to a much higher level. I am a relatively poor man and can't afford $1k for just a little bit better. Another such jump was with older Purist Audio Dominus power cord.

I am sorry, Mike, it did after 250 hours. But even before that I knew that it was going nowhere.  
Best MM?
Vortrex, thank you. No, I am not going to replace my Goldring 1042 right now. $1000 is a lot of money in my book, besides I like some edginess in the sound, Audio Note might be too refined for my taste. No way to know, though, unless you try.Nagao...

Mike, when a product is clearly superior you will hear it right away. Then it will be worth paying for if you can.

All this might not be necessary when comparing cables, or anything else for that matter. If the cables are fully burned in I usually need a minute at most to hear everything there is to hear. Very familiar and reasonably well-recorded material, of...
