Best interconnects for AYRE gear ?

Well there are a million cables out there... And I was in the same boat. But I have discovered cables and power cords that transformed my Ayre System and brought it to a level of clarity, purity, and musicality that I never dreamed possible. It also brought forth a huge, magical, pinpoint accurate soundstage. Truly a wonder to behold! I dare say even Charlie Hansen has never heard Ayre Equipment sound as good as my system. The company is Virtual Dynamics. I strongly suggest you give them a call. I am in no way connected with Virtual Dynamics and have spent around 10K with them now. Their B-Stock cables are affordable but not cheap. They put a photo of my system on their site with more of my comments. You owe it to yourself to give them a call. I cannot give their product a higher recommendation. Here is my system:

My final setup is:

1. Speaker cable -- Master LE, spade terminations, 8'
2. Ayre preamp to Ayre power amp -- Master LE, XLR, 3 m.
3. Ayre CD/SACD player to preamp--Master LE, XLR, 1 m.
4. Power cord on CD/SACD player -- Old style Revelation, 5'
5. Power cord on preamp -- Old style Revelation, 5'
6. Power cords on amps -- 2 Master LE, length 7' and 10'

I traded my long beloved Thansparent Reference in on this cable and it is light years ahead. I also ordered Cardas Golden Reference power cords for my Ayre system before trying the Virtual Dynamics power cords. After listening to both brands, it was no contest. I returned the Cardas and bought more Virtual Dynamics. It is THE REAL DEAL !

Paul: you are absolutely right. VD Master Series II and upwards are GREAT cables. I used the Revelation Signature IC´s and couldn´t be happier - until I bought Stealth Indra. The Cardas GR wasn´t very good with Ayre. I liked more the Acoustic Zen Absolute which I had prior to the VD´s.

Thanks Frank! Have you ever had your entire system cables, and power cords done with Virtual Dyanamics? One of Rick's main selling points for his product is the wonderful synergy you can obtain by having all the speaker cables, power cords, and interconnects be from Virtual Dynamics, and he so much believes in that, he gave me a good trade value for my previous cables on the total system package. I have certainly found everthing he told me to be true. The entire system approach seems to be more important with Virtal Dynamics product than with other companies. At least that is when my system attained the magical quality of a live performance, more so than with any other system I have EVER HEARD.....

Paul: the same argument is with taraLabs and with Jena Labs, Siltech etc. I do not believe in cabelling a complete system with only one brand - unless you have e.g. a complete Ayre or Levinson system were all components are voiced quite similar.

In one of my previous set-ups I had different brands (Wadia, Ayon, Ayre, Pass, etc.) joined together and I had to use different brands all over to archieve best performance.

To be honest Frank, I have not tried many super premium cables other than the Transparent Reference I traded in on the Virtual Dynamics. There may be many other things in the ballpark of Virtual Dynamics, and I am just unaware of them. But when I cabled the whole system with Virtual Dynamics cables and power cords, it just came alive, is the best way I can describe it. Everything is BIG, extremely musical, and the soundstage grew and focused as though I had doubled the physical size and quality of my already wonderful Wilson speakers. So I don't know what else is available in the cable world really, but I and my seasoned audiophile friends just close our eyes in amazement at the sheer power and beauty of my system transformation. I wish I could afford to get everything at the Genesis level by Virtual Dynamics. But I am very happy with a couple of Revelation power cords and Master LE for all the rest of the system. In my hifi travels of many many years, I have been most impressed with Magnipan speakers, Lux Audio seperates (no longer available?), and Ayre Equipment across the board, and now I am every bit as WOWED by my application of Virtual Dynamics in my system. Other cables and power cords that I have not yet heard may possibly do as well, but I cannot imagine that it could get much better...
