| tonearm cable, do you need one? Some IC's may be noisier than others due to build(shielding) If you choose to not use phono cables, just use a piece of wire for the ground(table to phonostage). You may not even need it. My VPI doesn't depending on cart used for whatever reason. | |

| PS Audio P15 Power Regen versus Ansuz Mainz8 DTC Power Distributor Demo a P15/20. PS Audio will only charge you the shipping if you don't like it.Ansuz just looks like another fancy power conditioner with a website full of technical stuff to wow the reader.

| Interesting 2x2 grid to describe what a component sounds like ... do you agree Nothing new here...Just another subjective opinion. Are the latest digital "vivid/euphonic" meters being used? I'm not swayed unless equipment is tested with them. | |
