Comparing Virtual Dynamics and Tranparent Audio

Has anyone listened extensively to both and care to offer an opinion?

I put a Virtual Dynamics David XLR interconnect in my system today and I'm impressed. Soundstage seems larger, midrange more realistic and bass tighter. Piano sounds great!

I'm wondering what result I'd get if I replaced my Shunyata Power Cords and/or Transparent Audio Super Speaker cable.

I'm running a Great Northern modded Wadia 860 directly in to a Classe CA-2200 driving Wilson Watt Puppy 3/2's.

To be fair I also plugged into my new dedicated lines today as well so it may be the combination of both.

You didn't say what IC's the VDs replaced. Were they Transparent Audio?? If they were, I'd put my money on the dedicated lines!

VD makes good stuff, but it's not going to make that kind of improvement (if any) over Transparent Audio or any other expensive high quality product. What you describe is what always happens after dedicated lines are installed.

If you really want to be fair, now put the Transparent ICs back in, and see if your system doesn't sound pretty much the same as with the VDs. Let us know :~))

I replaed a set of Cardas Golden Cross cables with the Davids. I'm going to listen for a week or two and then swap back to see what the difference is.

Sorry for changing more than one variable at a time.

Ask Rick at VD to send you a power cable or Speaker cables to try. You will be hooked!! VD cables will change a system with every cable you replace.
I run my whole system with VD masters, Power, I/C's and Speaker cables. I also have VD's BX armored in my walls. I have changed componets and have not gotten the changes that VD cables made in my system. Emotion, you feel the music. Know other cable that I know of comes close to VD cables. Call Rick and transform your system. Brian

OK Brian, I'll bite:

What other brands/models of IC and PC have you personally A-B'd with VD cables, apples-to-apples in the same system, which led you to the above conclusion??

Just curious :~))
