NDS - which interconnect?

Hi, just wandering which IC you are using between NDS and the pre amp?

I am using a Hiline at the moment on my 2 weeks old NDS, but is it really a big step soundwise going up to Sarum or SL?

I can only talk about the step up to SL. And I can say it's a huge step up in quality. Tonality, detail, sound stage are aspects which are improving by making the upgrade.

PB, do try the Music DIN-XLR also, nothing but brilliant IMO.

I know Jonas, IMHO the XLR"s make the biggest difference in sound quality.

Cough, speaker cable, Tony, cough 

Let me throw an alternative into the pot. High Fidelity Cables CT1. I found them a huge improvement over Sarums. I'm sure many will dismiss them as snake oil and witchcraft :-)

Thanks TonyM and Jonas,

It is not easy for me to hear these alternatives here in NYC, so I really appreciate your comments and insights.
