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?

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.
My conclusion is that nobody should spend money on a power cord until they have listened to Virtual Dynamics power cords! period Period PERIOD
Which VD's do you recommend for which type of components? I may try my whole system with them if they're PC's are that good....
