Cardas or Virtual Dynamics power cords? Opinions?

If you REALLY want to understand, call Rick at VD. He is the best source to answer your questions. Comments by others, whether well-intentioned or not, will only be misleading. The AA poster above would have found out the answers to his issues had he made a call, or even read the VD website, instead of "enlightening" others with his lack of understanding.

I have spoken to Rick about it in the past, but quite frankly was looking for more of a laymans interpretation.

Hi Ed,

Actually I'm still waiting for my new preamp to arrive. My dealer ordered it on 12/12/06, and I'm still waiting. It's a BAT VK-32SE. He has sent me a VK-3iXSE loaner while I wait.

Yesterday I got a pair of VD Revelation speaker cables, man are they stiff. Even with pre-bending they are a struggle. It looks like I'll have to send them back to VD though, as they broke the binding post on my Rowland amp. :(

To add to the first question,
Virtual Dynamics cables are much better (in my system ) than any cable I have tried in the last four years.
This includes some of the so called world beaters.
Without getting into a can of worms & details.
Lets just say Detail explains alot.
The people who have tried the Rev's & Genesis, know what I'm talking about.
Good luck in your search
just my opinion

Jmcgrogan (John), bummer about the Rowland. Are you returning the Rev speaker cables because they don't fit? I had similar issues but I ended up measuring the turns in my system and preshaped the cable before inserting the runs into my system. Wouldn't want to have to go through that exercise again too soon, but the performance of the cable made the effort worthwhile.
