Do you really get what you pay for?

I use generic cable called KWIK12.

I have a few other pairs that I pull out, but I just keep going back to my cheap 12 gauge Kimber.

If I'm worried about oxidation of connection, then I just clip few inches off at both ends.

That is kimber cable...

however, when you get the chance, also try out AudioQuest cables (CV-8 or Type 8 or so), I think you'll like them

Keep them spinning,

Basite, I'm sure I'll like them just fine. But, I'm not sure if they are worth $500 new. I would rather get a differnt cart or sell my phono pre and increase my PP budget by $500.

Hey Bert, you really got some nice gears...... but what's up with your PP? Com'on dude, you are an audiophile. Get with the program!!

or something else
I like kimber cable too for speaker cables, their bare speaker wire isn't that expensive

and yes yes, the phonopre...

let me give you an Idea of how my upgrade list looks like

now: new interconnects
summer vacation: either a new cdp, or a DAC or a projector & projection screen
next winter vacation: probably a new pc, if I buy the projector, otherwise: speaker cables or a new phonopre
summer vacation 2009: new tt, unless the luxman dies, in which case the new tt will be earlier, and most likely cheaper too...
even later: a dedicated transport (if I buy the DAC), or saving on for a seperate power amp (in case my room gets bigger, and that is a really big chance), or a powerconditioner (regenerator), ...?

so you see it's pretty busy on my scheme

Keep them spinning,
Bert.

Dude, you'll almost be like 20 by the time you get your new analog setup. Dont waste your teenie years listening to digital encryption.
No matter the results, looks like you are having alot of fun with your stuff. There is nothing wrong with that.

Let us know how your new IC sounds.

JRA

p.s. - dont get scammed by gold plated "Audiophile" batteries. But, do make sure you give batteries a good break-in period.

yeah I know, I just wish I had more money, could be that I get a new phonopre next winter too, but nothing too extremely fancy then, a clearaudio or so, or a graham slee (if they fall in that price category...), or something else, I'll see

I'll definately let you guys know how I like the new IC. and the 'DBS' thingies already are broken in, so no worries about that

Keep them spinning,
Bert.
