Virtual Dynamics

I tried numerous ICs on my modest system and yeah some were better than others but...

I am trying David XLRs and a PC and its pretty much knocking my socks off. Within reason of course. This combo has more impact in the vocal region than any of my previous cabling, including my old favorite (the HT Pro-silway IIIs, which I considered no slouch).

To top it off, I couldnt try the ICs right away. I bought them here on A'gon and the previous owner had twisted the connectors and sold me the faulty cables. VD not only repaired them free but turned them around with two weeks and even apologized too. They said, they are constantly improving construction techniques and quality. I realize the cable industry probably has sizable profit margins. At least once the R & D expense has been re-aquired. But come on, thats outstanding.

Anywho, these cables have a delicacy with female vocals like no other has before. Lots of detail everywhere and depth. Bass isnt in your face but its very natural with good pace. Snares, which have to date, always been a little weak in my system, have a nice rythmic snap. These cables have made a sizable improvement in my enjoyment.

I searched the archives and there wasnt much mention of these specific cables and I thought I might share. For whatever thats worth.

Viridian - I guess thats the great thng about living in our "free" society. You can choose not to buy their products for your reasons and they can choose to market their wares with whatever tactic they choose to. I'm sure Ric acknowldeges that some prospective buyers may shy away for just the same reason as you do but he's willing to "lose" those customers based on his convictions. In the end its truly wonderful that you both have that opportunity, sincerely...

I am currently auditioning a Virtual Dynamics NiteII digital cable(courtesy of Cable Company) and I've never used a better digital cable. It is expensive, yes, but is also outstanding. Beat by a very nice margin everything I used prior: AZ Silver Bytes, WireWorld Supernova 3+, 5+, Stereovox HDXV, Synergistic Research Phase2 X2, Synergistic Research Resolution Reference X2. The NiteII is just one s kicking digital cable! I never tried their ICs though, but I suspect them to be on par with their digital stuff. Best of luck.

I just felt like gushing a little. They really are working quite well in my system. I'm sure they arent for everyone, taking into account synergy and taste, but I am really enjoying these. I even got up this morning and had a short session of Jazz before work.

That was well said RGD and I fully agree. I remember a thread a year or so back in which Rick (of Virtual Dynamics) got pretty well roasted for espousing his religious beliefs. I think he got a little banged up about the technology and its its origination (if memory serves me) as well. Religion and politics are sure to galvanize.

A few Biblical names and a couple of quotes really doesnt make for prominent religious marketing. At least, in my opinion anyway. I am Christian so obviously I have a slanted opinion in the first place.

It wouldnt matter anyway. A good product coupled with outstanding service will always win my favor. I agree with Fplanner, the soundstaging is outstanding . With time, I am sure some shortcomings will become more recognizable. I am going to run in the cables some more today. During the repair VD replaced the connectors with new ones. I am sure they will change some with time. These have just shy of 100 hours on them so far.
