When that arrives I'll finish setting my system up all neat and wired. I want interconnects that will last for years with no bad connections, etc. The X-series looks like outstanding quality from the feedback on them. They also look super.

Once I get all my new gear in place (in the last year I have bought new amp, pre/pro soon, speakers and stands, Blu-Ray/SACD/DVD Audio Player, CD player and plasma display) and hooked it up, the only upgrade should be to a new pre/pro in 5 years or when the time comes. When you buy a pre/pro from Emotiva they sell you the next series upgrade model for 40% off, a great deal. In retirement I want to sit back relax and watch movies and listen to music when I'm home and not ever have to go behind my component rack for a long time! The new interconnects should help.
Wow. Well, let me say just how great that sounds! There's nothing I repect more than a man who knows where he's going.

I didn't know Emotiva had such an offer. So smart really, especially in these rough times where even people with cash are shy to spend. I would offer a word of advice and say that maintenance for the jacks of your connects should keep them going infinitely. I'm sure you already know this though.

Maintenance will provide a fantastic hobby as well for your leisure time. My dad spent most of his time with small engines and vintage audio gear. He certainly was never bored.

Hope to chat again soon Runner...
