VAC Owners: Balanced or Single-Ended Cables???

Kevin said to try both, which I did. Balanced was a little "quieter" due to some system noise that is now eliminated. Single-ended seem a little more palpable to me. Currently using Nirvana SX Ltd balanced between my VAC amp and pre-amp. By the end of the week, will be using Synergistic Precision Reference single ended, in conjunction with a number of other SR cables. I heard these in my system last week and was very impressed by the increased transparency, layering and imaging that I heard. The Nirvana were very good - the PR is just a little better fit with the other SR cords that will soon be in my system.

Flplanner- I see you are going away from the VD cables= Can you share why and what led you to the SR'S?? I just got the VAC 160's and alpha pre and am looking for the right interconnect- thanks-

Bebop86 - if you send me an e-mail, I will be happy to share my experiences - don't want to hijack this thread.

FWIW, new cables just got put in (Except spkr cables) and am going RCA between amp and pre - the sound is glorious and NOTHING is broken in yet!! I would say unless you have a noisy system or a long run, RCAs would be the way to go - a little more immediacy is what I am hearing.
