Thanks! for the update fsmithjack
I have always wanted to demo Kubala cabling, good to read that the switch made a positive difference. I cannot offer advice on vinyl nor TT. I am a CD and SACD guy. Keep writing as you figure and configure your system. It all takes time to gel together.
Happy Listening!
Looking forward in reading about the ML / Hegel combo- fsmithjack.
Happy Listening!
Excellent thread! fsmithjack-
have you considered a B.A.T amp to match the B.A.T. VK-32SE ?
Happy Listening!

Dallas is a fun city. Drop by John Fort Audio and listen to Silent Source cabling. Mr. Fort is very insightful regarding Audio and is a wealth of information. Safe travels.

Much Thanks! for posting information about KS and EnKlein cabling.
I have always wanted to audition these (2) brands. There is not many reviews out there regarding the individual products let alone comparisons to each. Please keep sharing your thoughts and listening impressions as you have represented both brands.
