Ivan, you are a big help - thanks, again. I've been inoculated recently, but I'm not sure how long its effective, so I'll have to be careful and get plenty of rest, eat the right foods, exc.. Ultimately though, its a matter of character and self-control, and I have none of those qualities, so I'm probably doomed! Ted.

Ted...congrats and thanks for sharing your experience with the PPP and Wireworld PCs. I hope you enjoy the newly elevated system's performance for a long time to come before the LuFlu reasserts itself and we see the 2301s and SF Amatis in your signature line

My recommendation to you is purchase two Wireworld Silver Electra power cables in two meter length to start. Put one one your Power Plant Premier, and the other on your MC402. If you plan to purchase only one to begin with, then move the GA power cable from your amp to the PPP, and install the new Wireworld Silver Electra on the power amp. I feel certain you will be quite impressed with how the bottom two octaves will gain thickness in timbre, greater leading edge definition on bass notes from both electric and acoustic bass instruments, and a richness to the bass that will disappear when you return to the stock cord. I went back and forth for a couple of hours with the Wireworld SE power cable and stock cables on my amplifiers. Every single time the WW SE cables were on my amplifiers the lower octaves became immediately cleaner, and more realistic. I was hooked on these cable within 30 minutes of use.
Dan, thank you the recommendation. Sounds like a solid plan. This will be my next project.

I recently added a bevy of Symposium products Rollerblocks 2+ (MCD500, C2300), HDSE (MC402), and Svelte Plus shelf (MC402) to go with the Ultra shelf under my turntable. This was no minor tweak! I highly recommend their products when the time is right for that next horizon.

Your comments on the synergy between Wireworld power cables (silver Electra 5^2) and the PPP once again have me intrigued by this combo. So so many users on AA are using these cables - must be some kind of magic. I am currently using stock cord on the PPP and Guerilla Audio PCs throughout the remainder of my system. The GA cords also give me blacker blacks (who knew how many shades of black there are). The GA are cheap compared with WW. I wonder what new horizon awaits me?? Hmmm

I guess the first place to start is the PPP stock cord. What do y'all think?
J3brow,
Some find the PPP stock cord quite satisfactory, since its the supply cord for the PPP with all the magic happening afterward. I think Dan is right - I'd concentrate on the power amp cable first. How have you found your Symposium tweaks over time? Are you still satisfied? Ted.

Cyril, thank you! I am so satisfied with the sound I'm getting from my system now, that I don't feel like I'm in a mad rush to make any more changes. I'm going to take my time and make sure the next move is the right one... As we all know, in the business of audio, "haste" can make MUCH "waste" Ted.

Good points. It is more fun to spread the upgrades out a bit. That way the audio high lasts a lot longer.
