Vitus RI-101 mkII cables recommendation

ricco275,

In my opinion, based on my experience, cables are system dependent. In my system I continually hear the largest difference between power cords. I recently had a home audition of Nordost try2, Shunyata Sigma, and Infigo Audio Signature power cords. I compared them to my Clarity Audio Vortex power cords. They all sound very different...the Sigma's are less detailed than all of the others, Infigo power cords push the soundstage back too much, the Vortex are very close to the Nordost, but in my system the tyr2 is slightly more detailed(without being bright) and has a very good soundstage. My wife definitely prefers the Nordost over every power cord that I've tried so far. I do plan on listening to Purist Audio and the Nordost Valhalla before I make a decision. Try to listen to cables in your system and let your own ears decide.

I think you should give the Vitus a minimal one month of good playing before selling it.

@tecknik you mean for having my ears accustomed to its sound? I got it second hand so no need for burn in. Frankly I was expecting to be blown away at the first listening. How come I don’t perceive a significant enough improve vs a basic McIntosh MA5300? Maybe my ears are not that sophisticated. I wonder if cables can actually make a big improvement. Anyway I’ll put a loom of tara labs Forté recommended by a Avalon / Vitus dealer and specialist in the UK. Need to find power cords good but not as expensive as Shunyata Delta. Even if I’ll ditch the Vitus at one point I’m getting neutral cables with higher specs than current ones.
