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.

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.

Thank you everyone for your response.
Other good cables apart form Stereovox and VD Rev came to my attention were Purist Audio Dominus and Synergistic Research Absolute Reference. Could you please comment if you had a chance to compare them with Stereovox?

I used to use SR Designers Ref X2 w/Active shielding. The VD Master and Revelation are better in all respects. Defintely a step change better.

How does the Kubala-Sosna Emotion compare sonically to the VD Revelation or the Stereovox? Has anyone made these comparisons?
