Well here I am dragged into the great hifi debate. Have just been listening to the music for 10yrs...however I bought an X-AS100 power amp recently so here I am. I have all Musical Fidelity components. XRay Cd X-a100R integrated (which is now used as a preamp with the X-as100 power) Have always loved the system and most importantly the sound. I do use a Rel sub to round off the bass nicely. The Power amp has brought benefits but is getting lost when the low end is busy? It didnt do this when I was just using the MF integrated ? Is the weak link a dodgy cable connect between pre and power?
The question is...what cable should I use as an upgrade to maybe get a little more detail from the system ? In particular the interconnects (phono) and maybe if I am flush new speaker cable. Dont regard myself as a hifi fanatic but do notice the difference tonally with cables. Am using my old QED ANNIVERSARY silver speaker cable and QED Reference silver spiral phono which although bought with the system over 10 yrs ago have served me well. The interconnect they gave me to hook up my newly acquired power amp (ATLAS BASIC) seems to be a weak link in what was otherwise a smooth detailed system ?
Can anyone give me any advice (especially those with MF experience) a good but not silly priced recommendation ? I need a good interconnect between pre and power and maybe buy the same for cd to amp. This is probably the last upgrade I will make for a long while before I get back to just listening to the music. Oh and I partner the sysem with some old B&W CDM7 floorstanders.
Thx for listening. Just seen some CHORD Cobra 2 + 3 for sale on ebay. Will these do the job? Also Atlas voyager?
Advice in simple terms is much appreciated ! Mark
