PS - this is really uncalled for. What provoked you to openly attack PC like this?

Inspired by Chubbs, I have done a little moving around - in this case, the cables.
I moved the Straightwire Rhapsody S interconnects to the phono preamp. So far, I'd say good move. I'm hearing slightly sharper highs than the Blue Jeans LC-1. Now here's the wacky one...After removing the Straightwire from the DAC, I did not install the LC-1. Instead, I took a set of component video cables and used the blue for the digital input from the CDP, and the green and red for left and right analog outputs. I'll ultimately probably put the LC-1 on the DAC, but I'm going to give it a while. So far, the video cable might be doing it for me. I might just like the way it's just slightly taming the highs, but then again...I might decide that's bad.
These guys are digging the new arrangement as much as I am...

Interesting. Keep us posted. John Micheal is sending me some AQ King Cobras. I plan to use them for pre to amp. He found them too bright, so they should be great for me. More shocking than great sounding component cables is that you didn't add a shameless photo opp to this post. :eek6:

I've edited. Is that better?

Haha...I like how the guy on the far left is looking over at the others. He is saying to the others..."Aren't we lucky to live with such a majestic audiophile". I suspect the others will bob their heads in agreement.
Hey here's my latest clutter of cheap sleds. It's not the greatest pic, I am not the photographer that you are. I have made no real "audiophile" efforts with the Pioneer/Sony CDP combo, pictureed at the bottom. It's outputting to the Sound Dynamics for when I want to shake the house down with some Metallica...
...hmmm should've gone grill-less. They are baby guards right now.

Thanks kid. Yes the titles are pretty rough. I think many Kenny Rogers and Glen Campbell fans would be angry.

Swapped in the Stratos last week but didn't say anything. After several days I asked Mrs Hyfi if anything sounded different.....
Answer:
The notes seem shorter and overall the sound is smaller and more like in a box.
Danes going in soon for another downgrade.

Wow, my wife would have given me the death glance. You know the super snooty one that only a wife can give? You're a lucky man HyFi.

I know that look but not from being married. I learned about that look when I worked in retail and had to cover the shoe department for several days.

Well, thanks to my new PSAudio power cable, I must change my rack. I have decided to half it, since that's how I built it. The lower half will support my LP bin, with further LPs lining it's shelves.
I am about half way through, but I like it so far. The room has opened up quite a bit. I still have some clutter to add to it.
This is analog only, I finally took the step. My digital has a ways to go.
