what happened to power cord review


Back on 6/17/01 there was a post by Lcat about doing a power cord shoot out. Does anyone know what the results were?. I've been waiting for the results to help me make an informed decision before i buy some power cords.

I just received 2 Virtual Dynamics Power 3 cords today. Plugged one in (into one of my DIP's), WOW, instant improvement. Volume went up, noise went down, bass tightened. And that's brand new. I'm waiting until I get 'used to it' to plug the other one in (I think I'll put it in the pre first). The Absolute Cord is going to end up on my computer as soon as I get enough cords to replace all the stock ones, what a disappointment that was after all the hype.

That's great Killerpiglet! Instantly? Wow. Actually, I didn't like the Virtual Dynamics when I first installed them. They were rough and congested. But after burning them in for a couple weeks I was completely floored. The same improvements you noted. There must be something to Rick's approach about mechanical versus electrical correction.
Gunbei, I noticed the same thing as you... Grainy and congested in the highs at first.. After a few weeks they were liberated :) Very open and smooth now. Who needs a Power Plant with these cables????
Buck, it makes me wonder what improvements Rick's more expensive cables and cords might yield. Hmmm.
I was replacing a stock (computer type) cord so there was plenty of room for improvement. I'd imagine most of the improvement came from reduced RFI.
I would expect it/they will sound better over time. I'm glad to see that has been others' experiences. Which specific models have you gentlemen tried?
Something to look forward to.
