Waxwaves and Audiolabyrinth, the electrical work is on the agenda as soon as my son gets his stuff out of the basement.
Its just so weird with these power cables. There seemed to be no particular rhyme or reason to which cable worked best with a particular component. It really helped having a friend lend me 3.2K worth of his power cords. Not many people have a chance to run that kind of experiment, and I'm not sure auditioning one cable at a time would have shown such a dramatic difference or allowed me to figure out how many I really needed to buy and where to put them. I already had 3 cords in my system that were doing well for me, so replacing the 3 was all I needed to do.
There are some really savvy golden eared guys around here. Once you figure out who they are, and that you have similar tastes, it would be silly to not seek out their thoughts and advice.
Its kind of neat to see that my experience with this has turned out to be a familiar one. Maybe it doesn't prove that I'm not crazy, but it does prove I have lots of company. Cheers!
