Nice review. I absolutely love the VE8 and interestingly the only thing I changed was the stock cable and replaced it with the Eletech Socrates. This is a match made in heaven IMHO so if you ever get the chance to try this combo I highly recommend it.

@Imusicman : Thank you for your kind words, I am glad you like my review and were able to connect with it. Definitely will try with pure copper cable!!
