I appreciate your comments and advice. Although I don't often have time to participate in forums such as this (much as I'd like to), I'm gratified by the remarks of those who welcome my participation (BobM, Batman) - I'll keep reading and perhaps I will post again at some point (keeping a comfortably massive distance from The Subject).Bob Neill, I'm afraid I am not the Simon of rec.music.classical.recordings, and have never visited that forum, though I've offered an opinion or two elsewhere on occasion. At any rate, I'll look into Nordost and have printed out your other remarks.
Keith, as I mentioned, I am an audio newbie, so my first system is quite modest compared to most here: Dynaudio Audience 50 speakers, Denon PMA-525R integrated, Sony ES CD player, Audioquest Turquoise interconnects, unknown (.60/ft.) speaker cable. I love the speakers very much (especially for the price) but will soon upgrade the amp and speaker cables, then the source. In time, I will upgrade the speakers to the Dynaudio Contour 1.8 floorstanders (which will make the current first system into a second system for my practice studio), so will be looking for an amp and cables that will ultimately bring out the best of the better speakers. Hopefully, that all makes sense.
John Risch, I will try to e-mail you sometime for the information you said you had regarding you-know-what. In the meantime, I've already read through much of your website and have learned a lot. Thanks for that and for your other advice.
Simon
