[Sticky] Welcome to the Iconoclast/BAV Discussion Forum!

Hello all, new guy here. Nice layout. Looks like a great place to gather info and ask questions. I began an upgrade to my sound systems 6 years ago and it has been a work in progress ever since.

My HT setup is a 6.4.2 fed by a Marantz AVR with a 12 and 10 inch sub.

I am first and foremost a vinyl guy. Vinyl spins on a highly upgraded Rega Planar 6 with a Sutherland phono stage. Phono stage is fed to a preamp and mono block power amps. Monitor speakers paired with REL powered subs. I don't stream but I do have a small collection of CDs. While I'm in the process of upgrading my digital sources I currently feed a CD transport via DAC to the preamp along with a front channel preout from the AVR to the preamp.

After purchasing the above listed equipment I began to upgrade cables.

My first set of cables were the LC-1 interconnects along with a spdif coax, and two HT sub cables from BJC.

Years later I purchased the iconoclast/bav REL speaker cables for the pair of REL subs. I was so impressed by those cables that I then purchased a pair of the BAV speaker cables and a single BAV speaker cable for the center channel in my HT setup.

All of this brings me to my latest purchase. Stereo pair of Iconoclast XLR (etpc), stereo pair of BAV XLR and a single BAV spdif cable. As time permits I will give feedback on this most recent purchase in the appropriate sections of the forum. 

As a side note I went into each and every cable purchase as a very strong skeptic that I would be able to hear any difference or improvement in performance. Boy did that ever turn out to be a false assumption.

Happy listening all

Hello everyone, I have finally figured out how to use the forum so you can hear the view from the shop floor. I hope you like oversharing and obscure music references!!
