a happy family of kimber, gutwire, nordost, audioquest, blue jeans, and shunyata, perhaps some others but I forgot the names off the top of my head.

mainly the XLRs are silver core, including the AES connection which is a Kimber Illuminations Orchid, Nordost speaker cable is silver, audioquest mostly interconnects and I love the audioquest diamond toslink I am using. blue jeans is a backup spdif, mainly use audioquest VDM-5 for spdif.

shunyata zitron cobra for power, to be honest I think the power is very important, I changed the outlet to hospital grade as well. using analysis plus oval 9 for the second voice coil for my speakers from the gallo amp to power down to 22hz for the bass.

The main chain is silver from XLR out from DAC to preamp and as well as XLR to amp to the output speaker cable which is also silver. I get a very neutral sound. Not bright at all, not as dull as copper wire, no coloration that I can hear, but perhaps I am used to it by now.

please excuse my run on sentences, I hope this makes sense, I am exhausted right now and not feeling too well.
