VD Revelation Speaker cables -

During my search for VD (unfortunate abbreviation but at least it's not STD) I e-mailed them about 6 times. Each e-mail was answered by Rick with detailed opinions and explanations. Can't ask for much better communication than that. Yes, the VDs are on the pricey side but you gets what you pay for. At least that's been my experience with the Revelation ICs And speaker cabels I'm using.
My only word of caution is that they are stiff and heavy. Once you get rid of the flexible cable paradigm and think of them as bendable conduits everything falls into place. BTW: They do need a very long break-in time so the longer you can get VD to cook the cables before they send them to you the better.

Rick, and many in his staff can tell you how each series of cables will sound. They can tell you what to expect from one series to another, how they sound different from each other. Believe what they tell you. Each time I have upgraded to the next series, they have hit the nail on the head. They know their cables. Tell them what kind of sound your wanting to hear. They will have a cable to match and then some. They explain every detail of what you will gain and hear from each cable in their line. Believe it because it is the truth.

Snook2, good to read that you have changed your mind re. V-D once you spoke to Rick.
From my personal experience with V-D you will not find a better set of guys to deal with be it Rick himself or Jeff Sutherland or Abderrahim. Working with them so far has been fun & there are very few manuf in the audio biz that I can say that for.

Every cable in his line-up starting from the humble Power3 to the mighty Genesis show-cases his technology & its abilities.

If I may be so bold as to say - Snook2 you are mingling in company that has very d-e-e-p pockets. I know that I do not belong in this league (wish I did!).
I just started out with V-D cables & I would, from my personal experience, heartily recommend that you begin with the David 2.0 series.
As Brouch & others before me have commented, V-D personnel know their product very well.
If you talk with any of the people at V-D, they will urge you to cable your entire system w/ V-D & hence spend your allocated budget on a lower model rather than spend all of your budget on a higher-end model. I.E. they'd be happier (& trust me, you would too!) if you wired your whole system with David 2.0 rather than 1 component with a Master 3.0. I have benefitted from this advice & I think you will too.
If you have more money to spend, go up 1 rung to the Nite 3.0. In the V-D line-up, they are very good value for money. (Remember, I said "in the V-D line-up"!).
FWIW. IMHO.

After speaking to Rick Schultz I did take the turn and will be re cabling my whole system with the new master series. His reasoning made a lot of sense in doing the whole system. I certainly hope he is correct. You will hear my results in a few weeks

My Revelation Speaker Cables now have a 100 hours of music playing thru them. (I had them on my cable cooker for 5 days prior to playing music).
I must say all the qualities that I was hoping for are in this cable. So far I am very pleased with my choice.

By the way , I believe there is huge synergy with VD and Purist Dominus Ferox C Power cables.

I will try to explain this ...

I linked together a Purist Dominus Ferox C power cable (with an adapter)into a 20A VD Master power cable (Dont ask why I thought of doing this)

I then plugged that combo into my Hydra 8.
My Sony LCD and other digital equipment are plugged into the Hydra 8.
With this combo VD/Purist the picture quality with my Sony LCD became the best I have ever seen !!!
I mean the colors were vibrant and the picture had more detail, amazing!.
Using just the VD or the Purist alone into the Hydra were no where close to the quality of using them linked together.

So, if its excellent for Video, I am mix and matching with the VD/Purist in my Audio with great results.
I am using a 20A VD Master into my Hydra 8. From my Hydra 8 to my APL 3910 is a Purist Dominus C power cord.
From APL to my Amp is a Balanced Purist Dominus C interconnect.
My speaker cables are now the new VD Revelation 2 Bi-wire and I have just ordered a Purist Anniversary Power cord for my Amp.

VD and Purist they work great together !!!
