@rolox I'm not familiar with Xangsane,but will definitely check them out. I recently replaced a silver, copper,gold coax with a solid silver from Voodoo and experienced much the same result as you did.Congrats!  
Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile?
@johnfritter above the yellow bar on your personal page between the A and the search bar is an arrow.Click on that and then choose virtual system:-) Don't forget to save when you're done.  
How tall do you like your images?

XLR cable recommendations needed
Audio Art sells silver plated copper exclusively.I've bought from them in the past. DH Labs as mentioned above is a good choice also.

This has been a most informative thread. As I'm waiting patiently for my Decware amp,other people's experience and knowledge is of great value. The simple pleasure tube amps site is really impressive, thanks for sharing that.

Most people I know only like catchy pop tunes on the radio. Not many are moved emotionally.  
Stereophile and the love of hotel decor
I remember Art Dudley's  photos of shoes taken at an audio show.Some included the wearer's foot and the carpet. No equipment:-)

Really nice review. I appreciate how thorough it was.  
Can/Is AI Used To Post Threads on Audigon?
AI bots definitely do register accounts and post on forums. I'm a mod on a different forum and see them a few times each week. It's hard to tell sometimes if it's a person with poor english skills or a bot.If there's a link included we mark them a...
