Power cord suggestions for CDP and tube amp

Holly,

Hi, I sugust you give AudioMagic X-Stream power cords.

Power Cord:
-- 6 ft. length only.
-- 12 ga. double-coated silver-over-copper conductors.
-- Teflon dielectrics.
-- Mylar dampening.
-- Heavy-duty molded ends.
-- Triple shielded.

I paid $100.00 for each of mine and am quite happy.

FYI, I emailed Don of DCCA last week; I'm still waiting for a response. :-(

I emailed Virtual Dynamics Tuesday and received a response yesterday. They no longer sell the Nite 2 cable, as I suspected, but say that the Nite 3s are an improvement over the Nite 2s all across the board. They are (currently) just slightly above my price range, but I may try a Nite 3 anyway. I have yet to find any used Nite 2s for sale.

Received my Black Sand cables yesterday and will be getting my VH Audio Flavor 4 cable on Friday. I am still going to buy one or two more power cables - guess I'm on a roll and really want to find out if I can detect a difference between PCs in my system/s. So far I have heard no remarkable change using a Black Sand violet on my Consonance Droplet, but this is after only a couple of CDs - way too soon to make a decision. I will be able to A/B the Black Sand and the Flavor 4 this weekend, if I don't spend too much time at RMAF! :-D

Holly,

If you're going to RMAF make sure to stop by the Virtual Dynamics room. I'll be there at the show and plan to visit them. Hopefully they will be offering the same deal as they did at HET in LA where if you made a purchase that weekend, there was a 50% discount. Also, they had a table of used and demo cables.

Clio09,
I was going to RMAF to hear Star Sound/Virtual Dynamics room. I had two after hour sessions booked but as of Tues. I'm in a cast from an Achillis heel injury.
Rick will be showing a new cable and Star Sound is debuting their new Stage Platforms.
If you have the time I would like to hear your opinion of their room since I'm very interested in purchasing a few products from both companies. Thanks.

Clio09 - I will definately be going to RMAF. I didn't realize that Virtual Dynamics would be there! I will certainly check out their room, and I, too, hope they have some demo/used cables for sale.

Irish65 - I'm sorry to hear about your injury and that you won't be able to attend. I have missed RMAF the last two years and have kicked myself for not going; I will be there this year. I will be picking up my Sistrum multi-platform from Star Sound; Robert is bringing it with him (a savings on shipping and a RMAF discount to boot.) I look forward to talking with Robert and hearing their new offerings.

Dan of DCCA Audio emailed me today. He responded to my email last week, too, but for some reason I didn't receive it. I am hoping to get a power cord from him, too. He has a great return policy and I think I will enjoy working with him.

I'm getting really excited about going to RMAF. I have read the comments/reviews of folks that have gone the last two years and it sounds like a very good, all-audio, fun festival indeed.
