I concur with your fondness of the Discovery Essence interconnect. I replaced my Transparent Audio Reference MC Phono ($1295) for the Essence about 6 months ago and was was amazed at the improvement. I also have a VPI 10.5 arm with a Helikon cartridge (on a VPI HW-19 mk IV w/SAMA & SDS). I've heard that the VPI arms are internally wired with Discovery cable, maybe this explains the synergistic sound. Very nice system.

Regards,
John
