SOTA table owners- getting upgraded

Larry, let's not let facts get in the way of a good story. It takes all the fun out of things...

Nrchy,I am talking about the umbilical(stock is dreck)from flywheel to table,as stated!Don't ask me why this was a huge improvement on both my,and my pal's table,but it was.As for the P-300,or any good power source,for that matter.I,and my pal,have tried a load of them.Obviously,as Cello states,a battery would be nice,but I don't know of any source,without a major fabrication hassle,that does this.I can only speak from our experience.The Electronic flywheel IS sensitive to the line.I know it is marketed as a line conditioner,but I'm a bit sceptical as to how far it goes,based on A/B comparisons.I think it is really more of a "very effective" speed control.A true electronic flywheel,but not so hot in eliminating all noise,coming in with the line.

I have a dedicated line,in a private home,so opted for the Ultimate Outlet,from wall to flywheel.My pal is in an apartment bldg,so went,finally,after tons of dreck conditioners,for the P-300.This has been a "gift from God" for him.He is 22 stories up,and his lines sort of stink,but are as clear as spring water now.

As for the umbilical,my pal sourced these from a custom guy,and they were not cheap(400 each).The connectors alone were far superior,and they were made of silver.I'm not advicating the silver,but a really good umbilical(don't ask me why,I don't know,and don't care)made a really LARGE improvement in the sound on both our set-ups!I had pondered this idea for a while,but only decided to have it come into fruition after sharing the idea,and selling it to my friend,who sourced it out.I was too lazy,and he is retired.I assume any good cable guy could do an equal job.As for Kirk,as I've stated,he is concerned with keeping costs down,and feels the stock cable is sufficient.I don't blame him.I won't say the Cosmos is a steal,at it's price,but WOW can it be coaxed into some amazingly great performance,with a little fotzing around.Actually,alot of fotzing around(cords,footers,rigid,damped shelving/stand,line situation,etc).It is well worth it's asking price,based on the competition,and I really wonder how much better the high priced stuff is,in comparison.I'll bet,not alot!

Larry,I thought you said you had a dry sense of humor!You can fabricate a story for me,as long as we are in the dog days of summer.Not much doing now,so I'll read anything.Of course this all changes after Labor Day!!

Best wishes to all!

Speedy I'm going to talk to Kirk, and then if all goes according to plan, I will talk to Jim Aud at Purist Audio Design and see if he can make this cable for me. I'll let you know what I learn.

Nrchy,

I'd be interested to learn what you find out as well.

Sirspeedy - Today I had to reposition my pump/power supply because of hum issues. I also am now using a PS Audio xSteme Statement pc on it and have removed the ground pin. Everything is now quiet.

Nrchy,I don't think you need to go as far as Purist.I think it may be too pricey!As stated,our umbilicals were 400 each,so keep this in mind,as cords can be expensive.

Also,when you speak to Kirk,mention Sirspeedy.He'll know who I am,and my prediliction for his talents.
