Thanks for the vote of confidence TCG! I honestly believe that naysayers who aren't into fancy cords just need the right experience.
Wasting $ on power cords is nonsense, but experiencing what the good ones can do is priceless.
It took me 3 years from the initial purchase of the VPP-1 to make it sound right...about every 6months to a year i'd spend $100 or so toward the effort. The VAC-1 was 1st, then a power cord for it. The RAL umbilical was the last piece of the puzzle..the golden key really. With the VAC-1 + a sensible power cord the VPP-1 was a giant killer. With the RAL, its a giant.
