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

>>He says they're the best<<

Everything is system dependent. There is no universal "best" cable.

>>Everything is system dependent<<

I've learned through experience that phrase is a cliché used to justifiy not so good stuff/choices...or stuff/choices that compensate idiosyncracies/biases.

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.

Newbee,

The curiosity is killing me; which power conditioner would you suggest to build a system upon? If not one, name a few?

I would like to re-stress the importance of power supply to the house 110 volt outlet. If at all possible, install a "dedicated" circut to that point. This is not as glamorous as super-duper IC, SPK, power cords but can be more important than all the others combined. Iv'e learned this the at the school of hard knocks. If not possible then a good outlet makes a difference. In an apartment situation a good extension cord to a different outlet than you use now sometime helps, if only to separate dirty digital from analog equiptment. Let us know how it all works out, best wishes, Mike.
