In an effort to understand if quality connections really make a difference, I’m switching out all of my bargain connections for some respectable but affordable good stuff for comparison.
Currently, I’m waiting on delivery of Audioquest Type 4 ( bulk) speaker cable at the end of the week.
My rca’s are all from Monoprice. I have a bid in for a couple of Audioquest Sidewinders to try out.
I’m also wondering if I should address the following with premium connections and what brands should I consider? Right now I'm simply using bargain cables.
Mac Mini OUT to Music Hall DAC – USB cable
Samsung Optical audio OUT to Music Hall DAC – Toslink cable
Monoprice Subwoofer cable
Please let me know if I’m overlooking anything? Thanks.
Here is all of the equipment that I’m currently using.
Onkyo 806
emotiva xpa-2 to fronts ( Rtia9’s).
emotiva xpa-3 for center ( csia6) and surrounds ( fxi3’s)
SVS PB-12-NSD sub
Pro-Ject III Xpressions
Belles Soloist 3 preamp ( HT Bypass)
Bellari VP129
Music Hall DAC 25.2
Mac Mini
Samsung LN46A650
