Recommend a Cable/Interconnect Set
The OP's got Krell and Bryston, this means bass and dynamics are very important. How do Acoustic Zens do that? 
Is it idiotic to stack components directly on top of one another?
Never advisable, do it only if there is no other way.

If you wish to try those Clear cables, I suggest you first get his best RCA and put it on your DAC, then the second cable and so on. First cable in the chain is the most important. Another approach is to get all Clear cables right away, all top of... 
Joule Electra preamps and amps. What is your impression?
Ralph, thank you. When I switched from 60 watt/ch amp to 120 watt/ch amp, both ss integrated, there was a big improvement at all volume levels, though the current amp is of higher quality too. But I can definitely hear that the increased power is ...

No I don't think $600 will be enough, you need a lot of cables. But I can't say how much would be. Besides, price/performance ratio varies. It would probably be at least double of those $600 for four sets. 
Turntable sibilance
I suggest you stop playing that damn cartridge immediately ! Send it to Peter. Even if in some cases 1000 hours is not maximum, Peter must know what he is saying. In any case, the number of hours is very high. You may be damaging your records alre...

" vastly superior' - no, just as good as the equipment - yes.I heard that there are some fake cables, buy only from sellers that look and sound reliable. Worn connectors can be one issue, bent cables in the wrong places another.This is my opinion.... 
Can an accepted offer be a lowball offer too?
Yeah, buying used on Audiogon is not for everyone, especially if you are not quite sure about how it would work in your system. In any case, if despite your best educated guess you make a mistake and got the wrong piece, just be prepared to sell i... 
Speakers in the 5-6K$ region & their components
No,  I can't recommend anything, it was a thought, and personally I think that's what I like for a moderate size room. What I have is not what you seek, those Vifa drivers are okay but you want the highest quality, besides these are older speakers... 
Speakers in the 5-6K$ region & their components
Why do you only consider 6.5" driver, why not 8" of equal quality ? The difference can be big. 
What spinning on your turntable today and how does it sound?
Both original Japanese pressings. I have original  US 360 sound Bitches Brew too. Both Japanese and US sound pretty good especially Miles, about equal but somewhat different. US is a bit more raw, Japanese a bit more refined and quieter because vi... 
What spinning on your turntable today and how does it sound?
Never spin vinyl on Saturday, only play compilations on my Nak deck. Yesterday was spinning Bitches Brew and Pangaea by Miles.

We won't stone you, we'll hang you.Mogami balanced may be something to start with and go from there.As for RCA, it's a different story. I still have my DiMarzio RCA which is quite good, excellent for the price, but it is no longer good enough for ...

Parabolic, this is a vast and complicated subject. And you do have to have in mind a certain budget, a range. Also, would you consider used or only new. What's more, some used cables are nearly impossible to find, and for a good reason. 
Low level hum only with lp playback
Cartridge itself is doing funny thing?
