I'm not about to feed the 'cables all sound the same' brigade Andy as they love threads such as this, I will only say this: Installing the Pluto's between my DAC and pre (a set of Neptunes have been delivering sterling service between my pre/power amps for some time) had the effect I expected last time they were here. For a more in depth explanation of that comment see here. (post #723). And finally, my system has never sounded as transparent as it does just now and that has got to be a good thing

ou might slip, you might slide, you might
Stumble and fall by the road side
But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
Remember you're walking up to heaven
Don't let nobody turn you around
… Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down
