Loricraft and power cord upgrade?


I have had a Loricraft PRC4 vacuum cleaner for LPs for some time now. It really makes a dramatic difference in surface noise and brings to life old records that I thought were beyond hope.

Having changed my setup, I found myself with a spare AC cord (Iego using Furukawa OCC copper and quality connectors). So I asked, why not? I tried swapping it for the generic 16 gauge cord and vacuumed a record.

Now given that I only have one record for each album, it's hard to do controlled comparisons with respect to cleaning quality. But I think I hear a difference in the tone/noise of the motor and pump. Will it clean better? One wonders. It is a motor after all and although is not in the path of the stereo system, indirectly by acting on the LP surface, it can make a positive contribution. Is this too far-fetched?

I'm a big proponent of upgraded power cords, but even I find this one a reach.

But if it does make an improvement, I think you should try giving the Loricraft a Cryo treatment too. Then set it in a bed of Brilliant Pebbles, exactly 3.333 feet from a Clever Little Clock.

Listen closely- that's the sound of veils being lifted! Your jaw may hit the floor!
