System edited: Speaker cables upgraded to Kharma Supreme Ref. Also,Capitole player upgraded to SE version Kharma Grand Ref. power cords now feeding mono amps Shunyata Cobra now on CD player Sound now has exceptional decay; deep & big sound. Soundstage has become huge; speakers disappear completely Would like a bit more delicacy at times.

System edited: Just added a pair of Shunyata Cobras Pcs. Voices have now become very smooth, at times a bit seductive. The speaker cables are the last bit of my puzzle. Would welcome suggestions. Present sound is a bit boomy in bass and perhaps lacking in transparency.

Thanks for your suggestion. I fully agree with you and am trying to obtain good cables on trial but every dealer wants full payment first, refundable if not satisfied. Nobody is willing to accept a credit card imprint. Paying and then refunding + twice foreign exchange transaction costs + twice credit card commisions + twice freight charges will total at least 20-25% of the amount involved. On a budget of $3000, the cost of each trial will amount to around $600. Can you suggest an alternative?

I appreciate your suggestion but am not into turntables and cartridges. I would love to upgrade the wall sockets but am unable to find audio grade UK type 3-pin plugs inmy country. Same applies to speaker filters etc.

JD3, the Capitole is the CD player and yes no preamps in the system.

The Kharma speaker and power cords were received last week. The Grand Ref power cord brought a huge improvement over my Audio Note PC.
As regards the speakers, they have only about 20 hrs on them and Kharma factory recommends considerable experimentation with speaker positioning. I'll revert with proper feedback in due course. For now, I have noted a certain delicacy in the sound.
