I have have two VD Revelation Power Cables, 6 Transparent PowerLink MM PCs (top of Transparent Line). I cannot hear an appreciable difference between them, but both are better than Purist Opis (and they cost a lot more). I have not heard the Purist Dominus.
I also have VD Revelation, Transparent Musicwave Ultra and Purist Aqueous Anniversary speaker cables. Again, the Transparents and the VDs are similar with the Transparents having more base slam, the VDs better soundstage and imaging with base closer to the Transparent than to the Purist and the Purists the best highs and arguably the best tonal balance top to bottom.
I have 2 sets of VD Masters series balanced XLR ICs, 2 sets of Transparent Reference MM balanced ICs, and 1 pair of Purist Venustas balanced ICs. Here the VDs and the Transparents are fairly close but the VDs still throw a better soundstage and imaging and not quite as powerful base slam as the Transparents, while the Venustas are not nearly as good as either in base, soundstage or imaging.
My Purist Aqueous Anniversary phono cable lets my system sing and demonstrate the powerful superiority of vinyl over digital. My Cardas Golden Cross phono cable is not in the same league.
On balance, VD gets the nod from me, especially with signal cables.
Jmcgrogan2, good to see you're staying active on the 'Gon. I am very happy with the VD Revelation power cables and would like to get two more, even though it is difficult to hear much difference between them and the Transparent PowerLink MM.
