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?

Transparent PL MM cords will blow you away...try their ultra IC's as well, nothing compares..eberything else seems a waste of time and money.

Have tried both Cardas and Virtual Dynamics with my system now. The Virtual Dynamics are much more impressive, staggering by comparison! I am getting Virtual Dynamics and MORE of them!!

I found a Cardas Golden (not the Reference) very good on my Arcam CD player, but not a great improvement on my integrated amp. In contrast, a TG Audio HSR power cord (made by the late Bob Crump) added tremendous dynamics to the same integrated amp. This was a few years ago, on my previous kit. I have Bob's cords throughout,now.

A Cardas Golden Ref may be very nice on your CD player, but the other brand may be better for your amps.

Hi, I have used both the cardas golden reference and the revelation version one. While the cardas is an excellent cable, the virtual dynamics revelation one is much, much better.
