If you really are looking for an improvement, check the VPI website - in Harry's section.....record weight.   The alterations you are considering are not improvements. 
Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT Setup Questions
you are wrong tomic601...  I wrote my suggestion for those without 7's.  My words are suggestions, not demands.  Everyone here should buy 7's so they can avail themselves of the laser as you describe.  For those that will not, they can read my wor...

Hi Doug....just thought all who are reading this blog would be interested in Ayre’s response as to cable length... They told me that they use 10 meters balanced interconnects in their sound room with absolutely no issues at all. (30 feet!) 
recommendation for speaker wire to soften the highs if possible
How sure are you that the irritation you are hearing is from the wire??  If you want rolled off cable, get used Cardas...though I would make sure the problem is there. 
Specific question choosing Duelund vs Mogami for affordable interconnect

Awaiting (not so patiently) for my cables to arrive from Audio Sensibility. I only ordered 1 pair, but if the DS system works, I’ll get all the cables. The longest one is about 4 meters.....preamp to amp. The others are 1 meter. ..just thinking...... 
Not impressed
djverne.......get the amp and preamp from the same company.....chances are they'll work well together. 
Phono cable advice.
TyRay.......be happy with ClearDay double shotgun.   I compared them to the very top of Wireworld, Kimber, and Audioquest, which were a multi-thousand dollar expense.   I actually preferred ClearDay double shotgun. 
Phono cable advice.
Invictus.... wrong.....Anti’s can make shielded or unshielded cables...I had one of each to compare. In MY system shielded sounded a little closed in compared to the unshielded. Actually, Anti’s give better sound than their price reflects. They ar... 
Y-split vs separate cables
sounds like lots of wheel spinning  
Krell Owners: Is XLR really superior to RCA?
Unless your units are differentially balanced, stick with your RCA connections.. no improvement.  The more adapters the poorer the sound.
