cables need to settle for a few days each time you swap them in and out.

Just want to say, great approach. I really think that is the perfect approach.

read in Steroephile or TAS years ago you can hear more differences when you go from highest quality and cost to lesser cables. A second article said that you need to listen for a minimum of i think 15 minutes for differences to sink in. Might be a deminishment factor that is very powerful. What kind of scientist would specialize in knowing aural impressions?
Really like the cable company's ability to send out different cables that they know are all over the map sonically so you can learn from the differences. Power cables may be as important as ic's and speaker cables. Which do you change out first as they are interactive? Do not loop any cables if some are longer than than you need. Carpet proximity is bad for cable performance I enjoy how you can fine tune a system with the right wires but would not change anything until all gear is completely broke in especially teflon caps |

Well it is done.
After burning 250 hours of "tube life" cable swapping, I've decided the TA MusicLink Super MM2 SC and IC's were best for my system and room. Cost was not an issue in this case as I had budgeted for for the Reference series. Thanks, Blaine

I'm surprised by this. I feel Reference series are definitely more resolving and quieter than super. I have super for interconnects and will be upgrading them this year. This is coming from a guy that didn't believe cables could make a difference period!

I tried TA Reference MM2 SCs & ICs with my REF 75 and went back to the Nanotec Systems Cables.
