Ozzy, the V.D Revelation is truly a reference class cable that has bested some very highly rated cables.If you have any systems anomalies this cable will show them to you.I have found these cables to be very natural and extended in all the freq.ranges.The new Genesis cable is in a class by itself and may be the most natural dynamic cable in the world.It brings out huge images and offers dynamics that are truly staggering, keep in mind that this cable is not for the faint of heart since it is 6 gauge and very heavy( my 2metre Xlr weighs 25 lbs for the two cables !!)If you can buy some used Rev cables then you are getting a huge bargain for the price to performance level. Take care Dennis
VD Revelation Speaker cables -
I read reviews of these cables and usually there are good comments about the cables bass response and dynamics. But no mention of the upper frequency abilities. This makes me wonder...
From Stereo Times Review in December 2005.
"The Revelation sounds surprisingly real and un-electrical. It takes the “system” sound away from your electronics and gives them an almost a human touch. Some might judge this as rolled-off in the highs, or too warm in the midrange. I say it’s neither."
So, I dont know, perhaps I am thinking too much between the lines of this review. Is there rolled off highs in this cable that is detectable to us common folk?.
I have seen other comments on different cables stating about there high frequency characteristics as, "its a natural sound" Do they really mean it does not have extened highs? In my experience, many times that is the case.
Please dont get me wrong I love bass , midrange , dynamics and soundstage qualities but the cable also has to hit the high Frequency extremes.
I would appreciate anyone with experience with these cables would comment on the cables upper frequency abilities.
That is, does it sound like a cymbal crashing with impact and detail and shimmer or does it sound like a muted aluminum pie plate off in the distance?
