Getting back to the cables for a second - sounds like the Premium/Reference interconnects are worth getting. What about speaker and power cables? Klaus suggested that this wouldn't make too much difference. Anyone have these?
I feel the answer to this question, like much of what goes on in audio, is system/owner dependent. That being said: 1) I use Groneberg Quattro speaker cable, and wonder how the TS Premium cables would sound. 2) I have used the Groneberg Quattro PC with a Stratos/cap upgrade and enjoyed enhanced sound. Then I ordered a
VH Audio cryoed Flavor 2, because I relocated my system and the Groneberg was now too short. I found the Flavor 2 PC to be an even better match with my then-Stratos amp. (I have never tried the Groneberg TS Premium PCs.) I subsequently purchased a pair of Extreme Monos (thanks again, Klaus!), and use VH Audio cryoed Flavor 4s to great effect with them. I do not know how the Extremes sound with other PCs including the Groneberg variants, because I haven't tried any other PCs with the Extremes. 3) I note I still use a VH Audio cryoed Flavor 2 with my Tempest.
I also note I love
Walker SST on PCs, ICs, IECs, speaker cables, etc. I offer that you may wish to try this tweak first, prior to laying down greater amounts of $ on PCs et al. I feel the Walker SST lets you hear loads more of what your system is capable of delivering.
CAVEAT - be extremely careful when using SST, follow directions carefully.YMMV.
