Great looking room and system. Beautiful Speaker upgrades as well.
Are you bi-wiring your CS 2.4 loudspeakers?
Happy Listening!

@gasman117 My cables and ICs are Golden Reference or Ayre “Signature” which is GR in a different jacket. My power cords are Golden.

Which cardas do you use?
I have 3.7s and want a smoother top end.
I’ve heard some use the clear and love them . 
Thanks
