VD Revelation vs Stereovox and soundstage

I’m looking for new cable for my system Avalon Eidolon, ARC Ref3, CAT JL2, Meridian 508.24, NBS Master III through out.

My choices are Virtual Dynamics Revelation and Stereovox. I was able to listen to Stereovox in my system and I enjoyed this cable. It improved image and its music reproduction was more natural compared to NBS Master III. It also gave more weight to each note.

I won’t be able to audition Revelation cable. I know that it improves imaging and dynamics. But what about soundstage? I had an experience of putting NBS Statement Extreme in my system. Imaging and dynamics improved dramatically but soundstage became smaller and existed only between speakers.

Can you please comment on Virtual Dynamics Revelation in regard to soundstaging and if you can, compare it to Stereovox.

I didn't know Peter Gabriel was building cables.
I do enjoy his music.

I cannot compare it to Stereovox, but I just bought a used pair of VD Revelation interconnects and they are head and shoulders better than any other cable I have ever heard (which includes about a half dozen that sell for +- $1,000 per meter).

Rx8man,you should seriously consider the Rev Sig since it has more resolution than the Rev.I Laughed also when I heard my rig attain sound that was so correct and musical.If you can afford the cake for the Signitures, then the this may be the last cable you buy {hard to imagine a better cable}.A fair warning is that this cable is a juggernot in build and weight.Take care Dennis

Cenline,

Your response mirrors mine, the sound is so correct and real it's pathetic !

Soon as I cough up some scratch plus the sale or trade of my cable, I'm in.

Rick is on a serious roll.

I agree with the comments above. Especially Fplanner200's 3 cautionary statments...long break-in time being very true. I also would agree that the signature version is a masterpiece and better than the regular revelation. Hard to imagine for a revelation owner..but true.
