Virtual Dynamics Recall

Fiddler, great to hear of your very positive experience dealing with Rick directly. I can vouch for his customer service and generosity as well, not to mention that the cryo'd Audition Package I purchased from him two months ago has completely transformed my system in nothing but positive ways. Good luck with the cryo'd Power 2!

For those who have considered or are considering a version of a Virtual Dynamics extension to connect to a component that is hard-wired, I just completed a week-long A-B with the VD cryo'd Power 2 extension on my hard-wired DVD player and it was night and day difference. With the extension, not only was the noise floor dramatically reduced allowing subtle nuances through which previously were not heard, but the soundstage was dramatically opened and enlarged and voices and instruments had a more palpable presence sounding just more real and life-like; and this was with just the extension so I can imagine what it would sound like connected more directly into an iec connection. I strongly recommend a VD extension for all your hard-wired stuff. I'm going to order another extension and a new splitter for my T.V. and cable box. Movies have never been so much fun to watch. Incidently, I just took the wife to a movie theatre and what used to sound impressive there now sounds terrible after getting spoiled on my home system.

That's good to hear, as I have a hard-wired Phase Linear amp for my subwoofers that could use improvement in that area. I read somewhere that it is a good idea to cut as short as possible the hard-wired cable and reterminate it with a quality plug, in order to reduce the effect of the cheap cord. I'll probably order the VD extension cord.

Well, I just ordered a P3 extension and splitter for my T.V. and cable box. Brett also said for those who have limited power outlets, they have a new power bar in the final stages of testing about ready for introduction. And for all you home theatre buffs, they have a new component video cable in the Audition series that according to Brett is unbelievable. He says the colors, shadows, and fine resolution are dramatically improved. I was just watching the 60's version of Cleopatra and was wanting to see Elizabeth Taylor's unique lavendar eyes in their full glory. I may have to order these component cables to do that. Also, just about everything is available in a cryo'd version. It adds about $85.00 to a P3 cord. And Brett also said for those not on with Paypal, they are now set up to take major credit cards.

How much is the P3 extension Sherod? I'm using a cryo'd P2 on my cdp and a P3 on my amp and have loved the results! I'm thinking of adding a P3 extension to my dvd and another P3 to my tube pre. Would there be a big difference when I replace a asylum cord on my pre with a P3? Thanks.
