Cardas or Virtual Dynamics power cords? Opinions?


My system is Ayre Acoustics C5, K1, and Monoblocks. Speakers: Sophia 2s. I am considering new power cords. Which will give me the most benefit, 4 Cardas Golden Reference---or 3 Virtual Dynamics "David 2s" on preamp and amps + a Virtual Dynamics Revelation (old vers.) on CD player?

Well I know Ayre likes Cardas cables, so there maybe some synergy there, I do not know. In my non-Ayre system, I prefer the Virtual Dynamics. However, I have not heard the David series. I'm only familiar with the Nite/Master/Revelation series.

Call The Cable Company ( 1-800-fat-wyre ), ask for John Pharo, then ask him to send them to you to audition. That way you can decide which you like better.
I owned an Ayre K1x and V1. I tried a lot of power cords on both. For my system and my ears, I thought the Elrod EPS 2 on the K1x and the Elrod EPS 3 on the V1 was superb.

I am referring to the Elrod Standard cords. NOT the Signature. I tried both Standard and Signature and preferred the Standard by a big margin on the Ayre.

The Standard and Signature are very similar with the Signature having a slight richness as compared to the Standard.

Both are excellent cords.
