Which cable is most important to spend money on...

Allocate funds for all three, because once you start upgrading, you're going to upgrade them all anyway. Determine the price level at which you can afford to purchase interconnects and speaker cable at the same time, and add power cords later...after dedicated AC lines and room treatments.

Robert Ridgestreet has designed his power cords to address something no one has, to date. Please read and or call tha man.

Bob's one of the best in the business when it comes to customer service and passion for his products. Having said that, I have found other interconnects and power cords that work better in my system than the offerings from Ridge Street Audio. Generally, an opinion like mine will be met with a comment that I need to install all Ridge Street Audio cabling to receive the full benefit of the products. Perhaps this is true. However, the pricing of the RSA wire is prohibitively expensive for me, and my listening impressions of cabling from other companies have been more favorable.

My experience with RSA wire leads me to agree with the system dependent qualifier, correct or not.

The way this is stated, which is all too common with many products - not ours particularly, it sounds like the RSAD cables compromised Grant's system and would most likely compromise most systems. Wouldn't it be a fairer statement to say a given competently designed product, RSAD cabling in this instance, didn't meet your personal tastes instead of the gist "they didn't work well with the system"? I'm sure we agree there's a world of difference between the former and the latter.

Yes. That's how I should have phrased it. Thought of changing the tone of the post to that effect, but I didn't.

Sorry if my post came off as unkind, Robert. It was not my intention.

You'll notice I never said RSAD cabling sucks. In fact, I believe just the opposite.
