David, I'm actually agnostic/ambivalent about this issue. I don't believe the nay sayers who dismiss anything that hasn't been DBT tested, but I also raise an eyebrow at such expense for such a minor part of the overall system and find it hard to believe that changing a mains cable can make such a dramatic difference. For example, from your review: "First of all the noise floor, both generally from the electronics, and specifically from the stylus on vinyl, dropped significantly, allowing the decay of individual notes to be heard far longer than previously. Secondly, the grain that I talked about before was banished. Not reduced but removed - totally. Finally the dynamic range became seemingly unbounded." I just really struggle with that sort of hyperbole. If it *is* possible, I'm really glad I'm happy with a much lesser (i.e. cheaper) system!
