Hi Dennis-
It doesn't surprise me at all that Rick went in this direction. When I switched away from VD cabling he mentioned he was germinating some new ideas to improve in the areas I thought were lacking. From your report, it sounds like he has succeeded with these improvements, and at a reasonable cost to boot! Good for him and for you VD owners.
I am quite happy where I am for now - actually a bit beyond that as I am currently breaking in a new APL-NWO Super-DAC prototype w/20 32-bit 2nd generation AKM DAC chips, tube output stage, etc., etc. I just got it yesterday and I'm just smiling......
