It was not my equipment. He brought over his NAD 370 integrated amp....and a CD player(I forget the brand/model), he brought two sets of interconnects, and his own set of speaker wire. We hooked them up to the Ascends.

I do not know the brands of the interconnects.....but he ordered both sets from a shop in the UK. He is getting a set of Van Den Hul interconnects from the same place, and I am going to listen to them as well.
