| Cable Inventory |
The fewer the better. OK, I have a special order Milland Cable for the Usone 900's sounds great, but the fabric wrap is pretty microphonic. Have ordered an output cable from Blue Jeans for my Apogee Duet. Update: It IS a HUGE upgrade! Everything else comes from Monoprice. Using Coax for Audio rocks. (Stiffly). |
