Stringreen you are a shill for VPI!
What is the meaning of "resonance signature" , but another BS buzzword?
Discovery wire "is" superior, to Nordost, and was used in the original JMW arm and the original VPI interconnect.
Harry switched to Nordost for recognition, not a sonic improvement, he is after "sales over sonics" the last decade.
The TNT !!!, JMW 10, SDS back in 2000 was the pinnacle of VPI IMO. However they only made 100 in that year.
The "dropped counterweight" on newer VPI arms is a PITA to adjust, and offers no improvement. Nobody else uses a dropped counterweight.
The new direct drive will be only be for the rich wanting status.
The upper High End "sonics" of most all big buck audio, is consistently demonstrated as "good but uninspired" sound, to those with experience and common sense. It can be beat with much less $$$.
