Upgrading interconnects, where to start


A generic question on upgrading interconnects - should I start with the CD-player to pre-amp, or pre-amp to power-amp. Which of these two will give me the most sonic differences?

there are many previous posts on this subject and the replys run the gamut, try for yourself!

If you plan on having only one source, start there. If you plan on having several, do the main IC.

either way, it's just a starting point... not a finishing point, right? And you gotta have something somewhere. Well Hell, everywhere.

My own plan is like this.... nice spkr wires, not cheap nothings, so you can hear the changes being made upstream.

Decent IC on main, and source.

Power cables.

Go back to sources or main IC and upgrade there.

Now finally upgrade the spkr wires.

Buy new components and begin again as and where necessary.
I've owned those $20k cables and have I got a find for you! If you can run balanced, try Monster's SP1000 Prolink Mic/Studio Cable. This cable is used by many recording studios and has an incredible dynamic range, warmth, transparency and accurate tone. Price is $50/5ft run each or $100/pair. For an RCA version, try the M1000i, priced slightly higher since it is marketed to audiophiles.
