RE: Do not get rid of your extra cables

Well I've gone through so many cables and power cords that I could not afford to keep them all. Your point is well taken though, because any simple change can change EVERYTHING. I have spent much of the last two years adjusting back to a SS amp, generally finding that warmer cables and cords worked better.

Than, just over a week ago, I received a tube amp, plugged it right in, and the sound was flat and lifeless. Now I regret selling some of the livelier cables/cords that I had in the past. I put in an old cheapo pair of silver interconnects, and there was a big improvement, though still not as good as the system tuned to the SS amp. Now I have to decide if I really want to invest more money and another year playing with cables and cords again to tune in this tube amp......or just sell the amp and stay with the SS amp. Decisions, decisions...
