Garebear.....in MY system, Cardas cables sound indistinct, tubby, fuzzy, etc.  I tried many versions...some are better than others, but I always can tell the Cardas sound in MY system.  They may work well in others', but not in mine.   I contacted...

Maestro faceplate - does it make a difference?
I replaced one PortaPort with Maestro.....after which they all got replaced.   Maestro on my system wounded open effortless, clear, etc., etc, etc, 
VPI 2nd Pivot for 3D
I can't help wonder why there is so much discussion on this.  Raul thinks the single pivot is flawed because it is unstable (wiggle)...the 2nd pivot stabilizes the arm and thus corrects the issue.  It me it sounds better with the 2nd pivot than wi... 
Maestro faceplate - does it make a difference?
