Weakest link?

My approach would be to upgrade your wall outlets to an audio grade outlet, put audio grade fuses in your components, treat your connections with Perfect Path Technologies Total Contact , and buy at least one Perfect Path Technologies Omega E Mat.

You have excellent equipment but the above suggestions will allow your equipment to operate at maximum potential.

The Omega E Mat thread at the miscellaneous forum right here at Audiogon is very helpful.

@esthlos13  A BIG +1 for David above.  He is exactly right.  A moderate change in a balanced interconnect pales in comparison to the complete system upgrade the Omega E Mats and Total Contact contact enhancer will give you.

Also, If you put a couple E Mats on the inside of your electrical service door, the performance of all your electric devices will benefit.  Can't believe how great UHD video can look!

Can someone provide links to the Omega E Mats? Google returned little in results. I'm not clear what any of that is.  Same with audio-grade fuses, not really sure about that.

I'll note I have Shunyata ZR-1 outlets (3 dedicated 20 amp, 30 foot runs from breaker box) as well as Shunyata Viper Zitron power cords.

Thanks!

Not that the 8802a is a bad prepro at all, but I think you'd get the biggest improvement by incorporating a good stereo preamp (preferably with a HT bypass input) if 2-channel is important -- and I assume it is since you're not asking this in the Home Theater section.  Anyway, that's where I'd put my funds next.  Best of luck. 

I’ve thought about that route but have yet to see any prepros which include HT pass through for dual subs (I have 2 JL Audio f212v2 subs). The JL Audio CR-1 crossover might be a good option to have my oppo feed right into it and let the CR1 do the bass management. I’d be interested in other ideas as well. 

Nice!  Man, I bet the Salons sound awesome with those subs with good 2-channel material. 

Two guys in a row saying the same thing on an AUDIO SITE? means it is a scam IMO. Those things are not that common for TWO yeah this is exactly what you need stuff. NO ONE on sites like this agree on anything unless they are selling it, or FANBOYS selling it for a buddy.
Fanboys love puckering up to newbie questions. Particularly irksome is both claim for "Total Contact".. The op needs to watch out. And if you cannot FIND a gizmo on Google, Gee I guess it is not very popular??? Time to be WAY more skeptical of some folks here.
Anyway, one cable? all depends on your ears and the system. maybe, maybe not. And that idea of the weakest link is correct. Where it may be in YOUR system I do not know. But if the new cable is better and allows more info through, yes you will be able to hear it. If some other weaker link later on in your setup is blocking the better signal. then, no, you won’t. If you buy it from a place with a 30 day return policy.. Best bet. Then if not better, return it. (I would also try it all over and see where it is best)
As for a wall AC receptacle. YOU could upgrade to a basic Hospital grade cryo’ed like the Porter Port sold here. $42 or so. Dependable ,and will be good. On the cheap just buy a heavy duty Pass & Seymour 20 amp. $6 at you local Menards.(I use Furutech GTX, but used basic Pass & Seymour for nearly forever.)
