Why not reach out to Kubala and see if you can try a piece, or he can direct you to a dealer who will provide a temporary loaner so you can do so? When I was living in the NE, it wasn't a big deal. Joe actually came over a couple times with my dealer. Nice guy- low key. I still use his cable. Works really well with the Lamm SET and Avantgarde Duo combination I run.
