| VPI JMW9 Sig toneram cables - what do you use? Cables are system dependent and many reveal the flaws in the system. | |

There are some relatively good sounding cuts such as "Cecilia", "El Condor Pasa", and "The Only Living Boy in NYC". Conversely, there are some dogs such as "The Boxer", "Bridge", and ... | |
