Worth upgrading my cables?
Improving bass presence may mean moving your speakers back. Experiment with moving your seating position forward, for more fullness to the presentation. Invest your time creatively, working with what you have, before spending any money.  Make se...

Loving two Purons plugged into Synergistic Research Powercell 12, and can really hear the contribution of the second unit. I am seeing richer colors and better contrast on a 15 year old Panasonic tv, after just one hour of use.  
Conditioning cds and dvds, before playing

Occasional Sound Imbalance Issue

Telling this to Santa last month, while you were sitting on his knee... that didn't help, did it?  
Speaker Placement and Toe-In
You're not "there" until you adjust the RAKE of your speakers.  The vertical orientation can certainly be enlightening.  Case in point (pun intended): MartinLogan hybrids...  
Trios “Chapel” Live - Lloyd, Frisell, Morgan
I have never heard that sound from Gregory Tardy when he plays with Bill.  Great clips on YouTube!  New cd coming out soon...  
Trios “Chapel” Live - Lloyd, Frisell, Morgan
If you hear it from Lloyd's saxophone, it could be a loose or improperly fitting mouthpiece.  This is the only track that I have heard it on...
