Affordable Power Cords

My system sounds so much better with the free VD Power 3 cable I received, I decided to try a set of VD David IC's that were for sale here on A'gon. I put them between the CDP and the preamp, and they made the Speltz Anti-IC's sound like filters. They improved everything as much as the power cord had, so I figured I had to fill out my system with three more Power 3 cords. I'm waiting for delivery with much anticipation. I always thought my system was lacking, and couldn't figure out just what it was, until I got the freebie. Clarity, dynamics, etc. It's just so focused, Everything, from the pluck of a bass string, to the thwack of a drumhead, is just so focused. It's not only heard, but felt. Remarkably so in my system, since I was only using stock cords which were supplied with the equipment. I thought everyone was blowing hot air about the power cord improvements. I figured you just can't improve on simple A.C. How wrong I was. Now all of my music sounds brand new, and I'm having a hard time trying to figure out who I want to hear first!

Interesting how good something sounds when it's free.

Abucktwoeighty,
Welcome to the wonderful world of power cord and interconnect upgrades. You might now experiment with connecting the power cord directly into the wall, if it is still plugged into your Monster conditioner. Also, upgrading your wall outlet to a better quality outlet, i.e. Porter Port, will make a nice improvement as well for you. Enjoy the music.

"Bait" by John Fishermen Sr. is a good place to start &
"Money" by Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of The Moon as a great masterpiece to finish things of. Enjoy

I agree with the posts regarding the VD cables. I have always been a skeptical believer in cables and never put too much into power cords. Before the VD I tried Shunyata, Synergistic Research, etc and though I heard some difference, it was never enough to make me run out and buy something. I was one of the few who got the free Power 3 cables. I got them in Dec and let them just sit around for almost a month before trying them. This delay was a combination of laziness, the holidays, and my skepticism that a $300 power cord to do anything more than the expensive ones I tried previously. When I finally got around to trying it, I plugged the pc into my preamp. I was not in critical listening mode but I was immediately amazed at how much more dynamic the sound was. My soundstage also got substantially wider and fuller, as if the sound was now enveloping me, versus seeming like it was only coming from the front of my room. I liked what I heard so much I went ahead and bought 5 more Power 3s used on Audiogon for the rest of my system. To cut a long story short, I am so happy and I have decided to upgrade to the Master series power cables.

Yes I got my initial Power 3 for free but I paid for the rest of the VD cables. They give me what I am looking for in a system which is dynamics and an incredible soundstage.
