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...

Cable upgrades
A safe bet.  All around Reference SQ.  Not insanely priced new=  Audioquest Pegasus XLR.  A hidden jewel!!! Phenomenal sound for the money, especially if you can find a pair used.       
Interconnects
Audioquest Earth XLR would be excellent, very reasonably priced, amazing sounding, interconnects for your application.  And you not feel the need to ever upgrade from there.  Buy used and save to make it all that much sweeter.    
Power cable Advice...
Audioquest Thunder and up the Audioquest line from there.  I have two different brands of PCs in my system (Audioquest and JPS Labs).  I have JPS Labs speaker cables and Audioquest interconnects.  They all work together to create pure magic.

What’s the best DAC < 6k (system specific)
I love my Hegel H590 integrated amp strictly as an amp/preamp.  I never even considered using the H590s internal DAC.  Sure, I thought the H590s internal DAC sounded lovely when I auditioned it, but I knew that I could do better with a higher-end ...
