Just out of curiosity,
What else is in your chain?
While Bonte would disagree, synergy is real.
The other thing that is interesting is harmonic distortion and an individual’s preference. Which is a whole different discussion.
PS Audio P12, Innuos Phoenix network switch Ansuz D2 network cable,RS130, RD160 SFP Fibre connection, Mitchi X3 Amp Westminster Labs XLR connection, Rosso Fiorentino Volterra Speakers Audioquest Rocket 88 speaker cables, all power cables Virtual Hifi Vermillion
Nice.
I’d say replace your Rocket 88’s w some DIY cables using Mogami 3104, but that’s just me.
I’m not a huge fan of the Rotel.but there are a lot of options. I know some will say I’m not an audiophile because I do love a good Class D GaN amp.
Why would you advise someone to change something in his system when he never suggested that he was in the market to do

Sorry
I was being a bit tongue in cheek.
Did you not see my first word… Nice? Its a simple word but carries a lot of meaning.
The Rotel is the weak link in a really nice system.
Also IMHO he’d get better performance from the Mogami 3104 wire over the over priced Audioquest.
Note: I’m using my remaining Audioquest bulk wire I bought over 25yrs ago when I got my Hadyns.
So you can always tease me about my kit. I’ll be the first to admit my RS520 isn’t endgame.
But meets my needs.
@Bustahip, Those speakers have a high WAF value. (At least w my wife. )
Because our Mikey graduate of the “YouTube Academy” and has learned a lot of nonsense and he still appropriates himself more and spreads it here. In addition, Mikey-Mouse wants to impose everyone here, his taste and his will. In addition, our Mikey is a victim of the Dunning-Kruger effect and does not notice it himself.
Unfortunately, Mike also suffers from the Confirmation Bias confirmation error.
I ask all forum members to be tolerant of such a person!
The best remedy that the PSYCHOLOGY says is:
Don’t answer!
When you answer they give Mikey with the above-mentioned recognized diseases again and again a reason to fully live his recognized diseases.

Oh Bonte…You’re too funny.
If you actually believed much of what you wrote… you’d sell all your gear and just run a WiiM or Eversolo and call it a day.
Again Bonte, too funny.
Go play w your Lyngdorf and call it a day.
No more arguments???
Poor Bonte…
Ok here ya go.
$1750 USD for the Audioquest speaker cables. (10’ pair)
To make something comparable…
You can make a pair of 10’ cables using Mogami 3104 wire (bulk) and a set of nice carbon fiber 2 set screws banana plugs , PET flex cover and of course shrinkwrap, etc… for around $250 USD.
YMMV depending on where you source the components.
Now the audioquest is 13awg.
Using the 3104 would give you 9awg wires.
But if you wanted something different you could find other bulk wire and build comparable 8TC or 12TC cables.
Since you like that I use YT videos as an example… CheapAudio Man dropped this a couple of days ago. (My guess is that he wanted free wiring for his home theater room) But you can find 100s of people doing these types of videos.
$250 USD vs $1750. All for a little sweat equity and being able to cut and strip some wires, use a blow dryer and a screw driver. (Scissors too)
