I found the Virtual Dynamics powercords work best on digital sources. This was confirmed this weekend at RMAF as Rick said the biggest impact would be on the digital (transport, CDP, or DAC) source, preamp, and amp in that order. I like the Nite II, but the Master took it up a notch. Now I had a chance to see the new versions of the PCs and can say the Revalation and Genesis are beasts. They could be classified as weapons with the brass and magnets that are part of the construction. Overall I had a great time at the Virtual Dynamics/Star Technologies room. The synergies between the two companies is amazing. Not to mention the new venture Rick is into with solid state amps and Star Technology Caravelle speakers. The sound was some of the best at the show.
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?
