I think I read somewhere else where you had some Zu Mother AC cords, how do you like them compared to your VD Cords?
As I told Gunbei recently I now have a small collection of VD cables, 2 Ref Cryo AC cords and 1 Signature Cryo IC will post some impressions as I try these in various positions in my system. The size/stiffness of the Audition, reference, signature AC cords is somewhat of a hassle but fortunately they retain shape they are bent to so it can be
managed with a little work.

Do it the easy way, get some Daruma II bearing sets they will sound even better and cost is very reasonable. Galen Carol sells them for $85 set of three.

That modest little Monster HTS2000 is really great for the money, I think the design was an accident because it sounds better for audio than any other Monster product, including the new PB2100 which replaces it. I really think you have to go to a balanced or power regeneration unit (PS Audio) to
do significantly better. I do like using the PS Audio high current Ultimate Outlet for amps, but again requires another AC cord in the chain.
For me if I used power strip like VD or PS Audio Juice Bar I would have to turn everything off and unplug from wall when done listening each time (a real hassle) since I am very reluctant to use no surge protection at all with gear plugged in 24/7.
