experience with TG audio tonearm cable?


looking to upgrade the tonearm cable on my teres/moerch/allaerts/michell delphini pro analog setup. have been using a vdh 501 silver hybrid but i'm reasonably sure that despite extended break-in that it is a limiting factor imparting a "dryish" sound to my LP enjoyment. i'm somewhat remote in location and the cables i'm interested in are not available for audition nor am i close to a metropolitan area. am looking to spend ~$500, and the bob crump designed TG audio cable can be had for just about that. he apparently does not allow audition, and i'm a little leery of buying sound unheard on such a critical link in the system. perspective/advice/alternatives are welcome! have a good one!

Hell, I'm slower than that! The reason the TG HSR works so well is I drive the heck out of it on a break-in rig for a while before shipping.....Musicdoc, I would make do with the VDH for a while and do the new High Purity TG HSR as it is quite a bit better than the standard TG HSR, but costs twice as much....A lot of the problem with the VDH can be "fixed" with a few days on my break-in rig so shoot me an email if you would like me to run this for you as it is probably bright on peaks and the rig will take this out....Silver will not break in at the voltages from a MC cartridge....It will cost you one of your best live CDs is all.....Oh, for a custom wire I normally want a restocking fee as everyone wants something different and they would just sit here forever until I happened to have a request for exactly the same wire.....I have had two sets returned in seven years so imagine you would like them, but save your money for the new High Purity version as it is much cleaner, sweeter and has better focus.....
