@tubeguy80 "but was wondering if this is the same Combak that is/was associated with Reimyo"? Yes, it is the same.    
Veritas Cables a new brand that I found
Veritas Cables does have a website however they are working on it and there is not much information there. You would be better off checking US Audiomart and type in Veritas, you will find more information there.

Thanks for the tip on tube use, I never would have thought of trying that.  
Gallium Nitride GaN Class D Amplifiers
I think the new Class D GaN mono blocks are worth while to demo and hear for yourself what’s possible for a modest cost.

Audio envy - dang!
@kclone, when I received my SP-14s in April 2024 all wiring was connected and all I had to do was plug in the one ground connector. I would describe my listening experience as clean, extended, and the cables simply get out of the way of the music.   
Great video about sound

@kclone, to hook up the ground simply plug it into an unused AC outlet opening made for the ground plug.  
Suggestions on improvement
 The OP said: "I'm 78 with age related hearing decline" The gentlemen that recommend upgrades in components are assuming the OP will be able to hear a difference. I'm not sure that is the case.

@scott22 I'd suggest that you keep your system exactly as is. I would add one of the Schiit LOKI tone controls (four to choose from for as little as $150 and up) that way you can custom the music to your liking. Feel free to message me through Aud...

I respect Hans review, if thats what he heard in his system, so be it. I’d say his review is spot on however I still do not hear brightness in my system.

Obviously Hans Beekhuyzen spent a great deal of time putting together his review of the LAiV Harmony DAC. I'm very curious as to how many hours of use he put on the DAC prior to his critical listing.
