Hello.  I'm a long time audiophile and found this board on the VSA website.  I'm not sure I understand why but there is supposed to be a VSA forum on this board.

Currently running Rogue RP-5 Preamp to Rogue M180 Monoblocks.  Sources include a Nottingham Analogue Innerspace Junior Turntable with integrated arm and a Dynavector 10x5 Cartridge.  I've recently built a dedicated Music PC with no moving parts, passive cooling and M.2 SSDs.  It's running Windows 10 LTSC (a stripped down version of Windows) with Roon and is connected to my Mytek Brooklyn DAC+ which I purchased at last year's Florida Audio Expo. 

I replaced my B&W 801 Matrix Series II speakers with Von Schweikert VR5-SE's today and joined this board to see what others are using for cabling for these speakers.

Hey Bob,

Welcome to Audio Circle. :D

Coming from the 801, how do you like the VR5?

Welcome!

VSA is barely here still.  Look for child boards under owner's circles.

I have only had them for 2 days and am still dialing them in.  First impression is that this is a considerable step up from the 801s.  Not that the 801s are slouches but technology has moved along.
