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 am just beginning to learn about the Virtual Dynamics lineup, and so far mine are still breaking in. I have ordered more of them, they already sound so spacious and musical with my Ayre System.

Virtual dynamics gets my vote. The change was a dramatic one. Just changing the speaker cables[Master] was like a shot of adrenaline going throughout the system. I do plan on replacing every cable with the VD's. Soundstage is huge. I always felt my sytem was a bit lean in the bass and a touch bright. The VD cables put that to rest. I probably wasted money on changing amps instead of changing the cables.

Dave B the music we listen to is VIRTUAL in every way.Some of my favourites are XRCD Flamenco Passion,Sarah Vaughn-mixed up and crazy,Cantae Domino,Opus3 Showcase which is incredible sound,Burmester.If you really think that Transparent is in the same league then you should talk to the Cable company to arrange a demo.To be fair you must compare similar cables and they must have at least 3-days for the vd cables to settle into your system ( this allows for a type of burn in for all components).Good luck-Dennis
