I haven't tried SDS or the interconnect you mention. That said, I have reliable information that the SDS changes the sound laterally-long term you are not likely to appreciate a benefit, just a change. The single biggest improvement I have noticed is perfect alignment and azimuth with a Mint LP protractor and Fozgometer and USB microscope. Next would be changing the stock feet with heavy brass Bearpaws. Third would be a periphery ring (I bought one from TT Weights). Be mindful that at least in theory, the periphery ring does more than simply flatten the record-it absorbs energy that is transmitted from the vibrations of the stylus in the groove, even if the record is perfectly flat. While I have a rather heavy center weight also from TT Weights, at least with my set-up, I like the sound better with just the periphery ring and no center weight-it sounds more airy, natural, and relaxed to me.
