Well, now you know this, because you were there, but maybe others are interested.

There was an Arm - 3 (AN-Vx external cabling) and an IQ3 on the TT-One in the Jinro room, 4000. We brought the S4 and the IO 1, but never changed the cartridge.

On the TT Three Reference was indeed an AN-1s Sogon, with an IO Gold, and the S9 stepup.

About mid-day Friday, we changed the power cables in our room,4005, with the larger Audio Note system. Thursday, and Friday morning, we had one Nordost Odin (on the M9Phono) and the rest were those black stock power cables.

Audio Note is starting to make their own SOGON power cables, which are not yet ‘officially’ available in the US. The wire is a new, special design — it’s not SOGON interconnect, or SOGON speaker cable — but it is, as one might expect from the SOGON name, silver. We received a number of them in our CES shipment, but they were unterminated at the US power end. We selected Oyaide P-037 Silver/Rhodium plugs for most of them, and we got a couple Oyaide M1s (platinum/palladium plating, with beryllium copper internals) which we put on the amps. We left the Odin on the M9.

Hopefully, over the next few weeks, we’ll be able to do some experiments here and start learning what these new cables really sound like, and what’s really best suited for termination at the power end.

Kind regards,

What cartridge is on the (presumably) AN-1S arm on the TT3 Reference?
