Thanks, I think that this is a pretty concise explanation. Let me make sure I understand, though. Are you saying that with better components the Nordost will make a more appreciable effect? eg you wouldnt notice as much with an NAD system but more so with a Pass Labs setup? If this is the case, then yes I should keep them, as I am sure that I will one day upgrade.

You guys keep pushing the Nordost, but does it really ever make a 60 CD value improvement...meaning, will I sit back with the Blue Jeans and gladly trade the purchase of 60 CDs for its sonic improvement. I know that this is relative, but 60 CDs!!

I need to update my system info at AA but here is what I am currently using:

Spendor SP 1/2e on Sound Anchors with Blu Tac
Hovland Radia
Hovland HP-100
Audio Note CDT2 transport
Kora Hermes DAC
Audio Research ICs
Blue Jeans Belden 5000 speaker wire

Carpeted 19x20 with treatments behind speakers

Another point is that when I noticed the slightly cleaner sound from the Nordost, I soon forgot the difference about 5 mins into the music. Will the lack of Nordost stick out so much that I will consistently think of it while listening? If not, then I will probably keep the Blue Jeans because I will always miss 60 CDs.

In the end, to my ear, the sonic differences in cabling and power chords are more mental, not aural...ie having that piece of mind that all my components are top quality is more mentally satisfying than aurally satisfying.
