Hi Cliff,

I agree with everyting you said that can change the sound. And I can hear those changes too. I know them well. I also recognize differences in cable designs. I can hear the differences. More so with speaker cables than others. All the high end dealers can hear the differences. I can sit in one place and someone can change a cable and it can be a major change. I've witnessed it too much to blow it off. Some designs sound very similar so those are harder or imposible to tell the differences.

There are other factors that can mask the differences such as power line noise, ground loops that cause low level noise to flow between components on the interconnects. Get rid of these or reduce these gremlins and the differences between cables will show up quite well.

What can I say! I know what sounds right to me and my ears. Can it be better? Yes it can with higher end electronics such as the 861 or separates like WADIA DAC's or Mark Levenson DAC's or higher end cables but I don't strive for the ultimate. I can't afford it and at some point we all need to sit back and enjoy the music. I just want it smooth and clear with good imaging at all volumes. I'm there with my system.

Cheers,

Ron
