Comparing Virtual Dynamics and Tranparent Audio

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 :~))

Nsgarch, Your system is Killer by the way. I have owned like 3 set of VD cables so far. I keep saving up for the next series. I now have the masters from the nites and from the audition series. If you have'nt ever tryed a VD cable, and with your system, you should. Rick sometimes will send you a cable just to try. I know for me that was all it took.So on my way up to the master series of cables,
I would try different cables, swamp out one cable for another to see if it would add or subtract to my system. I could never replace a whole systems wires at one time because of the cash thing. So an apple to apple is hard to do.The wire you add or subtract may not be the weakest link, but when you wire with all one brand, you sometimes strike a synergy. This is what VD cables do IMO. The more you add, the more the system comes together. I am sure you already know all of this with your fab system. I have used over the years cables, and speaker wire from Rat shack, Kimber, Audioquest,Audience, Nordost, Wolff, ps audio, and shunyata, a couple homemade, maybe one or two more that I have forgotten. This isn't an apple for apple, but everytime I changed out a cable, I alway went back to VD. AS a whole system, yes it will transform your system. Try one on your killer system, just to see if you gain or loss anything.By the way, Stereotimes has a review on the master series which you can read if you wish.

Brian, thanks for your overview. It really is very helpful to know what else a person has tried, even if it wasn't a direct A-B, and even if they didn't try one's own favorite cable! The Purist Dominus is the best I've ever heard on my amp, even better than the Purist Venustas, although they're both 10 AWG. So maybe I will give the VD Master a try.

IMO, power amps are the acid test for power cords. Or to put it a different way: If placing a particular power cord on the power amp doesn't improve the sonics of your system -- specifically: tighter bass, better center fill of the soundstage, better transients and blacker noise floor and (belive it) louder volume at a given preamp setting, then it probably won't do anything special elsewhere in your system (where differences are sometimes a little harder to identify.)

Thanks again for the details.

PAD and VD are fabulous and their power cords are easy to show differences. Just try VD .....and tell us.
Also don't underestimate what a good pc cord can do to a preamp.
