Virtual Dynamics + Ensemble Power Cords- good mix

I recently received an excellent power cord from Rick & the crew at Virtual D- his top-of-the-line Power Signature. VERY revealing (like a shot of adrenaline in the system). It has yet to break in fully, and Rick has said his new 'cryo' process will take it to yet another level- he is now offering the additional process on all his cables I believe...

OK- I have been using Ensemble Megaflux PC's only for quite some time, and love the natural tonality, however things seemed not quite as 'alive' as I would have liked. The VD cable brought things to life with just the amount of increased resolution I was looking for, without a higher noise floor.

In my 2-ch system comprised of 4 tube monoblocks in a bi-amp setup, I have found great results using the Virtual D cords on the amps, and keeping the 2 Ensemble cords + one Isolink transformer on digital(Audio Aero Capitole 24/192 CDP).

Same 'virtual' benefit in the second HT-based system- Theta Dreadnaught 5-ch amp is excellent natural-sounding SS, however perhaps a tad on the warmer side of neutral. Installing the VD Power Signature cord here again gave me the resolution I was looking for (kept an Ensemble Isolink and Megaflux PC's on the HT Processor). The only other cord I have wondered about for the Theta amp is the Custom Power Top Gun HCFi- I used to use the regular Top Gun on my old Rowland Concentra integrated, and it was a fine performer.

Anyways- don't hesitate to try the Virtual Dynamics cords- Rick has apparently now added interconnects and speaker cables, and an exclusive cryogenic process for all. As mentioned, they can be put in a 'mix' quite well with other cords too- in fact, I believe mega-cord Audiogon reviewer 'Tekunda' might be using the same VD/Ensemble mix of power cords last time I saw one of his posts. I believe Rick also has a $$$-back guarantee. If you ever speak to him, you will also find him very passionate about what he is doing, with the science to back it up.

I think I made it clear in my post, that I also own a personal system, for which I try to find the best cables possible.
That does not necessarily mean, I will use my own cables. If I find better cables for my system I will use them, and write about it and basically that was the intention of my post.
Believe me, I have been in contact with the moderators as to how to appear in a post.
In above post, I have not given credit to my cables, nor have I bashed the competition, cornfedboy.
I am sure, although I have become the importer of HMS cables, I can still appear as a normal audiophile once in a while, searching for the best to suit his personal system.
And I really hope we are not getting here into the same nonsense, that was going at AA. Can we at least agree on that?

tekunda: no, you are an AUDIO DEALER. that you have your so-called "personal" system is coincidental. face it, EVERYTHING you say must be filtered through the sieve you chose to insert when you became an AUDIO DEALER. don't try to split hairs. it can't be done. -cfb

Hi Turbo, just 20 hours and you like em? That's pretty encouraging. What differences have you noted from your previous cables?

If Sandra Day O'Connor and Ted Kennedy can have a vote and share their personal opinions, then I think Tekunda should be able to also. Unless, of course audiogon already has a policy in place that forbids Tekunda from his personal opinions without disclosure.

Personally, I think cornfedboy should disclose the fact that he is a lawyer and act's as legal advisor to audiogon.com.

Tekunda, I'd be interested to know what you find as I have a VD pc also.

stehno: << If Sandra Day O'Connor and Ted Kennedy can have a vote>> means what? ted kennedy is one vote among 100. sandra day o'connor is one vote among 9. sandra day o'connor can throw a presidential election with her vote, and did. poor ol' ted doesn't have quite so much power, despite what he may think. and what does my being a lawyer have to do with anything? what do you do for a living, john?
