A hard look at the effect of cables
Hi-Pscanli--was using the shotgun--obv not as good as the magnum or oracle or even the ac-2 with amps-and of course not as expensive either--I am sure the upper models are much better--I have just spent a bundle on a new cord for my cdp and hoping...

Cable Elevators
