Anyone heard the new Virtual Dynamics Revelation?

I bought the pair of "Revelation Signature" ICs that Rick had at RMAF. They didn't have the Signature dressing, but Rick assured me that's what they were and that he will be debuting this new model at CES in January.

I am using them between my APL modded 3910 and preamp(VAC Phi 2.0), and after about 100 hours in my system, the sound just keeps getting better. There is a new "weight" to the sound that wasn't there before, as more information is presented. The cables don't seem to accentuate any particular frequencies, they just let the sound through better than any other ICs I have heard in my system.

I also have a pair of Revelation ICs and a biwire set of Revelation speaker cables due later this week, if they ever clear Customs in Montana. I'm really looking forward to seeing what synergies happen once these are inserted into my system.

Hope this helps.

Update: Revelation Spkr cables arrived 2 wks ago. Replaced Au24s. Huge difference,as it should be for the price(but it doesn't always work out that way, as many Agoners have found).

Now have 4 thick cables to each speaker instead of 2 shoelaces - big difference. Setting visuals aside, the sound is pretty amazing - much more dynamic, much tighter and lower bass, fuller midrange and sweeter, more extended highs. Makes the Au24's sound like they were 2-dimensional - soundstage has gained new depth and width and imaging has also improved quite a bit (and it was very good before!). They are obviously still breaking in, so should sound even better after a while.

Sound is much more dynamic, but not in any way colored - for example, I am hearing bass lines in songs now that I didn't even realize were there. The bass isn't accentuated, it just there, whereas it really wasn't as clearly before, but I had no way of really knowing this. These cables have really opened my ears in a very good way.

Performances are now closer to "live" in my system than anything I have heard to date, and most other systems now sound thin and 2-dimensional by comparison. I'm afraid I've been spoiled......

(I'm also not "connected" to VD, or any other manufacturer for that matter, in case the above sounds like a shameless plug. I just know what sounds good in my system and enjoy sharing info, since I have picked up many good insights and tips from the posts of others on this site. Its a really neat community.)

I just recently replaced a regualr Revelation IC from CD player to preamp to Revelation Signature. The rest of the system is standard Revelation. I have about 100 hours and once again, I'm amazed at the difference between his levels of cable.

They have everything the standard cables do: dynamics, tonaql purity, resolution, etc. However, they substantially push the limits of transparency, tonal purity and soundstaging. These are really incredible. Highly recommended over standard Revelation.

Much better than Master. Once again, the Masters sound great but slightly veiled and compressed compared to the Rev and especially Rev-sig. That should tell you how good the Revelations really are.

I plan to replace my other Rev IC to Signature. This is really a big difference. At this point, I think they have improved my sound more than replacing my Krell FPB 600 with a CAT JL-2. They are that dramatic.

A must try!

I'm planning on trying the Revelation Signature balanced digital cable sometime in a few months. Should be interesting.

This is getting interesting, because I'm also planning on a Revelation balanced, to see how much better it will sound than my Master balanced between my transport & dac.
