Regarding cables you are spot on, only way to be sure is buy both a xlr and rca from same brand and then see what fits my system best and i happen to like the tara labs house sound.
The neutrality thing well each has his owen preferencen.
But i dont agree with you at all that if every thing sounds great then somthing is wrong.
I have a friend that owens linn klimax solos with carefull chosen components the are as transperent as it gets but i have listend to almost my intire cd collection on that system and not one sounded bad all where musical and fantastic sounding .
On my own tact millennium is just as transperane and just as detajled but in my system 25% of my cds sounds not good 10 % sounds horrible the rest sounds fantastic.
I dont beleive in total neutality at all thats for studios, live music really sounds horrible if you studi it.
What you are describing is the system screwing up the music and with some cds thise faults are better hidden, not the other way around.
As a musician i go for hifi which brings the emotion of the music to me the rest has no menning to me, and i have countless times found myself bored with much of the gear today and espicialy so called neutral speakers the tear the music apart.
If i whant the most detajld neutal detajld sound i can pick up my martin d45.
Im a sonus faber speaker lover and know that with carefull setup you can better the real thing.
