I have discovered the best ever tweek for the VR2's.
I changed my electronics to an all Van Alstine Insight system (amp, pre-amp, and DAC).
Admittedly not as cost efficient as my other mods but it made the biggest change.
Airy extended highs and deep bass (the mid-bass bloat completely disappeared) all within a wide, deep, detailed soundstage.
The DAC is amazing, it is so close to perfect I have no desire to try other brands.
The pre-amp and amp do not add anything to the recordings or take anything away so you can clearly hear differences and nuances in every album and cd.
Highly recommended.
As for wires, I still use a 25' double run of Kimber 4VS and
Monoprice 14ga with both sets hooked up to the top terminals. It is a wonderful musical combination.
