Regarding Cabling...

I have not found it to be the case that typcially the ICs make a bigger impact than speaker cabling, etc. I have concluded thus since I compare entire sets of cables, which tend to confer similar benefits (or not, if the cabling is not so hot) across the board.

Obviously if one is using a mixed set then a particular IC might indeed confer better results due to the IC simply being a superior cable (due to geometry, total gauge, conductor material, etc.) than the speaker cabling overall. That would not be surprising at all and would be consistent with my findings. If that is what you are doing then I would agree that they might be "ranked", however inappropriately. The difference would not be due to the inherent superiority of all ICs vs. speaker cables, but the better quality of the IC being used vs. the speaker cabling used.

I could demonstrate in my rig such a faux ranking, and then reverse it using the opposite cables from each brand.
