The Vittora’s look sensational in that finish, any hint about how the MG Audio cables sound? The ModWright Oppo mod looks interesting(whack a mole).
MG Audio Design cables are fantastic. Is that enough of a hint?
I do appreciate you throwing a shot of a hot blond…….in leather pants…..Yow! And, go Volti Audio:)

Just a little note.
The small tape recorder with the big spools is NOT a Nagra but the Stellavox SP 7.
The white wire is directly connected from the tapehead to an external preamp.

Thanks for the correction!
