Ever change interconnects depending on what you listen to ?


I do sometimes. I have two both excellent but very different cables - Purist Audio Neptune fluid and Tchernov Audio Reference MK II. I am talking about analog chain, with digital the Purist is always better. But with analog not always, though in most cases. Another thing that I do is to at times run them both in a chain, that's the Tchernov goes from phono to Nak deck and Purist - from the deck to the integrated amp. Speaker cables are older Purist Colossus fluid. In fact, in many ways this overall gives me the best sound. The integrated has a passive preamp, and deck provides extra gain. Since I make recordings, I know that, again, in most cases the Purist is preferable but not in all cases. This is fun indeed. Perhaps, there can be no one perfect cable for any system for every recording. It is also not always the fewer the wires the better, the fewer components the better.

NO. I usually adjust the system so the whole thing can sound good on all the stuff I like to listen to.    
To me, the hardest thing to get balanced is the bass. For heavy rock with the bass right, then Jazz quartet and Classical chamber is not enough bass. If those have the right amount of bass. then Rock has way too much. It is the hardest thing to get right IMO. with ONE SETTING.          
As for IC, if it floats your boat, then all is good.
It's not dissimilar to using more than one cartridge or/and phono stage.
As for getting the bass right, I don't think I have a single recording where it has been recorded right. Purist Neptune makes the bass a little more tuneful and Tchernov Reference tightens it up a little. Both go equally deep.
