Good to hear the AudioQuest IC,s sound good. Not surprised as they seen to have invested heavily in this area and built a very good reputation for innovation and well made, good sounding gear at a reasonable price.
Those are reasonable assumptions. Many of us tend to improve our system incrementally, one step at a time. Hence I still had bog interconnects between my preamp and power amp. Eventually, that had to be replaced.
My next step should probably be power conditioning. Currently using some el cheapo component (paid around hundred bucks for it) -- now's the time to tackle that problem. Any recommendations?
Don't you just hate it when you cannot detect where the post ends and a signature line begins?

I’ve now got 2 AQ cables in my system, & both (somewhat to my previous cynical disbelief) have made nice changes. I will certainly be looking to update some of my other interconnects with more AQ stuff as & when I can.
I’m not a fan of power conditioning mains blocks, sometimes they can be good but equally for some weird reason they can make things sound worse! From choice, I would just use well made mains blocks with decent cable such as belden etc. I try to avoid the ones with on off switches, led lights & fancy fuses or filters in.

Alex,
As Alan rightly says every element makes a difference.
Balanced mains is bang for buck a bargain....airlink BMUs are tremendous value for money.
Dont know if they ship to your neck of the woods!!!
