| Oyaide Actually, I found Cardas power cords the very worst power cords I have ever heard. Yes I chopped the ends off of Purist, Audioquest, Cardas, and they all very much improved with the Oyaide plugs, and they all sounded pretty much alike. I like best... | |
| Oyaide I have a bunch of different wire and a couple of power cords from Cardas and Audioquest..tried those | |

| Best balanced signal cable Anti-cables | |
| Oyaide I had extension cords I made myself...3 conductor 12 guage, SJ 300 V. AIW-K SCA FT1. I used regular top grade plugs that was recommended to me from a large electrical supply house. I chopped the ends and installed the OYAIDE C-046, and P-046 on th... | |
| Anyone NOT like the sound of VPI? For a temporary fix, go to Home Depot and get some Moretite. Take a blob of it and put it under the headshell. Adjust the VTF and see what happens | |
| VPI SSM with Rim Drive - New belts ??? Sonofjim...VPI has (or is in the process of having) a new ring for the rim drive....not new belts as I understand it. Shiela promised one to me when its ready...I'll let you know what I think, or you can ask for one for yourself. | |

| Mint Tractor OOOPS...I didn't use Scotch Tape. I used a thick tape that I use when repairing violins...I knew it wouldn't leave a residue...sorry. I would call or write to VPI and ask them what they recommend. Stan | |
| Anyone NOT like the sound of VPI? ..actually the Signature has better bass (midrange, highs, dynamics, etc) than the regular 9...and its just "wrong" to go backwards. | |
| characteristics between these In my system, there is nothing better than Anti-Cables. Check out my system | |
| Kimber Monocle XL My experience too has lead me to Audioquest over Kimber. Also...if you biwire, use seperate cables (they can be wrapped + and-), however don't use the bifocals method of combined ++ and--) |
