Older Linn Sondek LP12 info and interest
+1 on trying the Linn. It is potentially the better turntable. And you’d be keeping a family heirloom. The only caveat is the status of the Linn suspension.   
Solar flares are here, everyone unplug your dryer!
LOL at the notion of the dryer. 😅  
New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound?
@atmasphere Not buying it. The voltage drop across a few feet of power cable can't be more than a volt. This is insignificant compared to the normal variability of the supply fluctuations between 114 and 126 VAC. The reason you can hear changes ... 
Can you tell the difference between a $200 and a $200,000 guitar?
Some great comments here. Wonderful to have so many knowledgeable and talented audiophiles on the forum.  
I did the right thing after all.
Did you intend this to be as bad as it sounds? I felt like I was listening to a PA system in a concert hall.   
This sound-suppressing silk can create quiet spaces
There’s so much noise pollution, we could solve the energy challenge by using these to generate power.  
How Soon Do You Realize You Don't Like a Piece of Gear?
Why change? You obviously prefer the Allnic. The VDH isn't going to suddenly get better to such an extent that it will surpass what you enjoy about the Allnic.

Just like great music on a boom box bests muzak on a million dollar rig? An accomplished musician with a "cheap" instrument will hold your attention over a poser with an expensive one.

jasonbourne71 Do you not think the video clearly illustrates the differences? Subjectivity aside, my thought after watching the entire video reminded me of how the more finely crafted the audio component, the better it sounded. @mahgister +1

@jasonbourne71 These are classical guitars.

Cobblers. I use BLE Design (made in Florida) $40 OFC 10 gauge with rhodium or gold plated connectors, and you can plainly hear an improvement.  You have to spend more than $1000 on a power cord to hear much.

Slow blow. The T in the code is timed. F is for fast blow.  
You CAN hear quality LP reproduction thru YouTube
Thanks for the share. It didn't sound half bad.  
Nagaoka MP11 GOLD info…
I believe it was a special model between the MP11 and the MP11 Boron. The cantilever was enhanced but not boron. I had one years ago and it was very good.  
Whats on your turntable tonight?
