Can hi-end cables benefit less expensive electronics?
@serblinfan  Fantastic! Glad it worked out for you. Thanks for the update.  
My wife weighed in…she wants piano white tower/bookshelf
Crystal Cable Minissimo - great looks and sonics

became quickly congested with orchestral music Orchestral? Seems you’d need a full range speaker for that. GokdenEar Triton. Great top to bottom, images well.

+1 used Joseph Audio Pulsar +1 Harbeth MoFi SourcePoint 10 or 888 - a sonic bargain Tekton - also high sonic value    
Who knew?
I started my audiophile journey about 8 years ago. My strategy was to hear the very best at audio shows and showrooms, then try to duplicate the sound that resonated with me but within my budget. The Linn LP12, while a long track record, seemed i... 
Help me find my ideal Stereo Integrated Amp
Maybe underpowered at 150W into 8 ohms, <1% THD; 280W into 4 ohms, but I’m going to suggest Aesthetix Mimas. Most integrated DACs are okay to subpar, so it usually best to get a separate DAC. Integrated phono is usually minimally satisfactory....

It’s difficult to think about high sonic fidelity with the Gilligan theme song   
New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid
@ritter06 - good job!  Nice assortment of speakers you’ve demoed which gave you a lot of input in deciding sonic preferences - X3s for great price/performance, Sonus Faber’s more musical presentation, and Wilson for accuracy excellence. How diff... 
???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard???
although I'm a little disappointed that the majority of choices are no where near inexpensive. @freediver - wishful thinking. For a component to beat box store sonics, from increased costs from engineering, better parts (capacitors, resistors,...
