AudioQuest Pegasus vs Thunderbird Interconnects
@Ozzy  Yes, LOL!!!  AQ needs to send you a little something.  Also, I did buy the Thunderbird XLR ICs new and I expect for there to be a lengthy burn in.  You know what they say about system matching.  I must say, the Pegasus sounds so excellent, ... 
AudioQuest Pegasus vs Thunderbird Interconnects
@ozzy The AQ Pegasus XLR are truly wonderful sounding interconnects in my system that I could very happily live with for the duration. But, just the same, I’ve just ordered a pair of AQ Thunderbird XLR, which should be, I hope, my end-game interco... 
JBL K2 S9900 vs Klipsch Heritage Jubilee Horn Speakers.
@alexberger  I really don't believe it's necessary to change anything about the Jubilee speakers, including it's crossover.  The speakers are exquisite just the way they are.   You know the old saying........if it ain't broke, don't fix it (LOL). ... 
Audioquest Pegasus XLR Interconnects
@kennyc  I'm a big fan of Audioquest cables.  My very first high end cables were Audioquest Midnight speaker cables, way back in 1999.  Currently, Audioquest makes more cable models than you can shake a stick at.  I started with Earth, then upgrad... 
(20 year old) 1.0 meter Kimber hero xlr and Audioquest diamondback xlr cables
Well, the absolute only way to definitively know which cables will sound best in your system is through trail and error. You must audition as many cables as you possibly can and let your ears be your guide. There is no other way.  Happy listening.  
JBL K2 S9900 vs Klipsch Heritage Jubilee Horn Speakers.

JBL K2 S9900 vs Klipsch Heritage Jubilee Horn Speakers.
Thanks you all for your comments and also your very high tech input on the contrasting differences between the drivers, crossovers and design philosophies of the two speakers. I’m not very well versed in all of the technical aspects of the Klipsch... 
Audioquest Pegasus XLR Interconnects
@audphile1  I've always been a cable mix-and-match kind of guy.  This method seems to work best for me.  Also, I strongly believe that my current mix of cables are my end-game cables.  Happy listening.      
Audioquest Pegasus XLR Interconnects
@gdnrbob I believe that the new cables from Audioquest are truly outstanding, and also world-class reference level, and not just merely "very good." Especially when you start talking about AQ mid level and above cables. I have two other brands of ... 
AudioQuest Pegasus vs Thunderbird Interconnects
@bossound   Initially, my plan was to bring in both a pair of Audioquest Pegasus and Fire interconnects for auditioning and comparison.  Whichever sounded best would remain.  First up, was the Pegasus XLR interconnects.  As the Pegasus began to b... 
To loom or not to loom?
In over 30 years as an audiophile, I've always had a mix of different brands of cables in my systems.  Never all one brand.  This method works best for me.  For example:  Here's the mix of cables that I currently am using with incredible results ...

AC cords for Hegel H390 that do not color sound?
Recently, I was extremely fortunate to find a seller who was willing to part with his pre-owned, 1.5 meter, JPS Labs Aluminata power cable for just over a third of it's retail price.  I use the absolutely incredible Aluminata PC on my Hegel H590 i...
