RE: Any Advice for Black Mamba / MPS Hercules Build?

Posted by Duster on July 24, 2020 at 05:45:07:
The Viborg V503 line-up, both the unplated and with the various platings are excellent options if a less expensive polycarbonate shell is preferred vs. an aluminum shell that does provide sonic benefits. The polycarbonate shell of the V503 line-up is the most beautiful plastic shell I've experienced. You might try one of each: unplated, gold plated, and rhodium plated versions and swap-out the Black Mamba V2 power cords on each audio component in order to find the best synergy. I won't second guess the tube rolling in terms of tonality, nor the caps selection. I suggest evaluating the results of the new wiring and power cord upgrade projects, and report back with your findings in the forum, Rob.
