With that level of quality, I don't know that there is a LOT more to extract from better cabling. What I would try first is losing the power conditioner. I have heard an excellent system with and without one (perhaps not as nice as yours), and there was definitely better 3D presentation without it.
After that, I think adjusting the speaker/room interface and listening position might pay better dividends than wire.
I have also found that capacitors in the signal path can have a profound affect on soundstage. Don't know to what level you want to mess with that sort of thing.
So there you go, Francis. It is, indeed, just audio. You're the one who believes the soundstage needs improving, whatever that means.
Peace,

I have moded my amp and done some other work to the system. The power conditioner is easy to swap out. I only have my amp and pre amp connected to it. My phono is battery powered.
My room is not great. I do have a nice level soundstage and the tone is good to me.

I seriously don't think "powerconditioning" does anything other then help Soundstaging. These effects are more dependent on the information coming from the recording.All you really need is any other pair of ICs that you are fairly sure work,
we're not really concerned about the 'SQ' of these test ICs as we're just listening to see if we can hear anymore 'sounstaging'information available from a different set of ICs(Please take no offense to this ,but your mentioning of your ICs threw up a "red flag" to the possible culprit for your lack of "staging" in your music
& particularly for the fact that you are running a "balanced"configuration)

I have a pair of Shunyata Pythons coming this week. I'll report back.
