VPI JMW9 Sig toneram cables - what do you use?

Zenieth and Stringreen,
Credit goes to Harry Pearson of TAS for pushing VPI to use Nordost Valhalla for tonearm wire including other progressive changes of the Scoutmaster.

I found Valhalla wire a true revelation over the Discovery brand used by VPI including Cardas that I replaced it with prior to the Signature arm.
Its truly remarkable how much these other wires molested this tiny fragile signal of the cartridge compared to Valhalla.

May I suggest borrowing a burnt in pair of Nordost interconnects to go from the junction box to your phonostage.
Either the Frey, Tyr or more Valhalla.

There is certainly something to using this revealing wire this far up the signal chain....

The whole premise here is to get this tiny fragile signal of the cartridge to your phonostage unmolested.

Your Valhalla wired tonearms are extremely revealing.
I understand why some audio reveiwers use it through out their systems.
However ,make no mistake about, its ruthless and totally unforgiving.

Nordost certainly is not the end all of wire designs. However a wire design like this used this far up the signal chain, there are enormous benefits to be had, thats for sure.

Do experiment from your juntion box to your phonostage.

The right interconnect will let you know immediately.
