    Always rewarding when something New pleases.
    That said Often it's the freshened connections ie; fresh wires squeezed onto fresh spots on the connectors that gives the improvement.
    A semi annual spritz of Deoxit often does similar. Or even making breaking the connections semi annually, gives my setup a fresh lease on life..

    Danilo, all of the connections are 4mm Banana plugs so no bare wires to worry about but I certainly take your point.

    OK, so after considerable listening, the sound with these cables very definitely favours vinyl to CD. The Dire Straits 'White' album sounds bloody amazing through these cables with a shedload of extra detail. Really liking the new sound.

    Right then, having spent a while with these cables, I swapped back to my Mark Grant VDC cables. The difference is quite staggering in favour of the VDC cables. Also of course, the VDC cables are a fraction of the cost of the VdH ones. The bass is much more powerful although quite a bit warmer, the midrange has masses more detail in all of its multitude of layers and the treble has virtually no grain at all. I was really gobsmacked whilst listening to 'Older' by George Michael. The layers of synth in this recording that I have never heard before were seriously amazing. Yes, OK, I also changed pre and power a month or so before Christmas but I have only been using the VdH's with this new combo. Not any longer.
