Over the past few months l've been putting together a system with, mainly, second user gear. Now have a Arcam Alpha 5 CD with a trichord clock fitted, upgraded op amps & set up as non over sampling. Sound is powered with Arcam Alpha 8 Integrated & 9 power, driving Monitor Audio RS1's.
l've tried Chord interconnects (Chameleon Silver plus) but changed these to Gotham, as l found the sound a little bright. l know this may have a lot to do with the MA's as they are forward.
At present, the 'speaker wire is QED Silver Anniversary. l'm considering DNN Reson (two runs) but l'm a little concerned that this will take the edge of the sound, as l believe DNM tends to role off the top end.
As an alternative, is the QED Silver anniversary XT version any different to the original SA?
Any other suggestions, in terms of 'speaker cable would be gratefully received.
