Mike, IBTL stands for in before the lock, as if to say that an extensive DBT discussion could get ugly and then shut down.

Australia, huh? Do CD players over there spin counter-clockwise?

Lee,
Certainly, if I were to upgrade from the Audioquest cables, I would do some comparisons. My local high-end dealer only carries MIT interconnects, which are not necessarily bad, but I am disappointed by the lack of a selection. That is definitely a problem with high-end dealers I have visited. At most, they usually have two brands of cables. On top of that, an amazing number of high-end dealers have Monster cables either exclusively or as one of the two brand they carry. Now, I am not one of those folks who believes that Monster makes all-out garbage. What bothers me is that these dealers more than likely caved to Monster's marketing machine. I had a high-end dealer that only carries Monster cables tell me once that "We are basically in bed with Monster." :rolleyes
Anyway, when and if I do upgrade cables, which will not be for awhile, I will probably have to venture into Philly. Alternatively, I may give some of the mail-order dealers a call. Audio Advisor has a great selection of cables, but their prices are not so great. Music Direct has a very good selection, and they discount.
