The VD master will bring your system to life. Voicing changed,detail became greater, dead quite, black, black backrounds.You now can feel the emotion of the music and what the artist is trying to convey. Your heart will race because the emotion that you feel with this cord. This is the greatest upgrade I have ever done. As for the Kubala, I cannot comment on, There isn't a dealer in my area. Hope this helps alittle. Brian
