Thanks for your input. However, I'm not altogether sure I understand. Did you upgrade from MM2 to Gen 5?

In my opinion all great cables so more personal preference and system synergy.

BTW ... I won since it was my system :-)

Touché. Thanks for your input on the matter.

Don't know what was decided on this, since the thread's been dormant for a bit, but I have Transparent Premium power cords on my sources, preamp and power amps. I heard improvements in sound each time I added one. I have their Plus interconnects on sources and one pair of Super connecting the preamp and amps. I plan to audition Transparent Plus speaker cable to see if it can supplant my Kimber 12TC, but that will be a tall order based on what I heard last night.

On my Furman SPR-20i voltage regulator and IT-Reference 15i power conditioner, however, I have Shunyata Venom HC cords. I am thinking of changing to the Venom NR10s there, though I have no complaints about the sound I have now. The Furmans are chained, so perhaps I need only one NR10 for the SPR-20i, which is connected to the wall. I'm sure Premiums would do the job on the Furmans as well, but I want to be consistent in my setup. My experience is that cleaning up the power yields better gains than interconnects, so I'd start there. I have no experience with Shunyata ICs or speaker cables, so no comment on them other than they're good.
