Ron’s New System

No; when I am by myself I virtually never listen to digital.
My consistent convention is to signify an album by using italics and to signify a single song by putting it in quotation marks.
So I listened to I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got and
Bella Donna in their entirety.
yes
I think the pejorativeness lies in the mind of the reader.. some might say what a cracking system

I agree that it describes what some might consider cracking, but the pejorative went from Ron’s mind to his fingertips and keyboard.
He is very open about sharing his thoughts and candid about his solicitations which is what makes this thread so fascinating.
True.. others push their preferred path Ron resolutely ploughs on, bias declared, rejecting and selecting .. it is very interesting and extraordinarily open
Don't worry, Ron, it's going to be fascinating either way. Plan is to come early next year, we'll keep in touch!
Interesting...I have enjoyed Transparent Cable for many years, now Opus. But Z:Axis has custom-designed the i2s cable and power umbilicals as well as the power cables for the Robert Koda K15EX and Zanden DAC...all pure silver. Enthralled with all of them.
Overall, I like where I am in terms of the overall balance of the system. And as you point out, cost is a factor when one has bought perfectly great cables...and flipping in/out is not for me unless I am literally trading in at close to par and then finding a worthwhile upgrade which is how we have ended up at Opus.
3 words IMO. Snake River Audio.
If you are going to experiment with differing metallurgies? Ron, I understand you are going to the Capitol Area Audio Fest....
Am I correct?

Okay, that's what I thought. When you are there, do yourself a favor and check out the Triangle Art room. They will be featuring the Snake River cables in that rig. It will offer you a taste of the bliss I am experiencing in my rig, when it comes to cabling and using differing metallurgies. Jonny (He's the owner of Snake River Audio) will be down in the marketplace in booth #34. If you have a chance to talk to him, he can give you the lowdown on specials he will offer at the show.

I personally highly recommend them. Their cables have made an incredible difference in what the end result is, as to what hits my ears. They truly open up the music to where you are drawn in to the raw power of the music, instead of simply listening.
I have no affiliation with this company whatsoever. I am just a very satisfied customer. If you are to start with something, I highly recommend getting one of their hybrid Signature Series Power cords to start off with. The changes you will hear in your rig will not be subtle and the tone is to die for. FWIW.

Thank you for the suggestion, Tom! I personally don't believe that I can learn anything about the sound of the cables from listening to them in an unfamiliar system in which they're placed, but I will check them out!
