Totally understood, as I've learned over the course of the last 9 years, and after having purchased and sold over 10 integrated amps | pairs of mini-monitors, that taking the needed time to understand their respective strengths | weaknesses is vital, as there have been moments when thinking by adding a certain signature via ones RCA input jacks | RCA connector's on their IC's | Binding Post | Banana Plugs, can in fact restore said sense of balance, letting one then to hear said components as per their truest nature, yet as said mistakes are to be learned from as we get older ( wiser ) it becomes ( or should ) easier to figure out which flavoring is needed where?, and then addressing it via said options of tubes | cabling choices, as both are in truth means of tone controls.
It's being able to admit to ourselves what the system collectively needs, not so much as how we hear the electronics or speakers, but how it translates the essence of the music itself, is where we go wrong in the beginning, yet as maturity kicks in, we're meant to know " Our Sound ", and not to allow others tell us what they like of don't like, remember once said person had left your home after a shared listening session, who does one have to please or convince other than oneself?, no one would be the wisest response, eh!.
Getting onto another note as it refers to the Accuphase 40th Anniversary Edition IC's, as posted earlier on as striking a very similar appearance to what's on offer at Underwood HiFi at prices like $400-$2000 ( if I remember correctly on their option with the silver plated plugs? ) here's another one I came across a few days ago:
Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Check it out! $299.99 | MPS M-11R 99.99997%OCC rhodium Plated Plug RCA audio cable DVD CD DAC amplifier cable RCA TO RCA cable
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mss6zx6
Which tells me if nothing else?, someone over on AliExpress is watching audio forums like our here, and Head-Fi and are using said information as a means of offering said items at higher prices, by merely adding either a rhodium or silver plated connector to the mix, I've sent mine off to have one or the other types of plating added, as to my ears it was in fact one of the best sounding pure copper rca cables I've heard since 2001, and in figuring out its weakness was a lack of snap | crackle | pop as with their power cord, I believe it's going to be a winner as well, especially during those moments where I might crave that " tone thingy " that only pure copper cabling brings to the party in the right way I'd add.
And lastly, you're more than welcome.
