@jsalerno277  Thanks for taking the time to read the whole thread.   It is a dilemma.

@audphile1  Thanks for truly understanding my post.  
Interesting fact
It’s a song satirizing mega movies in stereophonic sound.  
Classical Music for Aficionados
I just compared four performances of Schumann’s masterpiece, the Symphonic Etudes.   Pogorelich, Richter Rubinstein and Pollini.  The results were very enlightening. Richter and Pogorelich, though representing two different worlds of interpretatio... 
Right speaker intermittent
Thanks for all the responses. i think the problem is in the volume control of the preamp which is noisy when swished a t low volumes.  I’ll attempt to fix it.

@lalitk As I’ve indicated, I think I’m through experimenting. The set is sounding so good lately with the Shunyata, I might   even hold on to it.

Thanks for the recommendations but I  think I’m going to stick with the stock cable.  The set is sounding good as it is.
