Is anyone using viritual dynamics armorned wire?

I have a dedicated 2 channel and a dedicated home theater circuits ran from my breaker box to my rigs. My question, Is the armorned in house cable from viritual dynamics any better then every day, run of the mill 12/2 cable that you would buy at a home center? I know the armor will help reject noise, and the cryo treatment is a plus, as has been on the nite pc's that I use in my system. My system is very quite now, the space is good, depth is good also. The blacks our black. Just looking for more openess, and air. Aren't we all ! My 2 channel system amp is a audio research vt100, Ls3 preamp, marantz 8260 cd/sacd player. I am using nite power cords,and nite I/c. My speakers our the audes blues with nite speaker cable. What will I here different in my system using the the VD armoned in house cable VS. regular 12/2 in house cable? Also has anyone tryed their cryo breakers? Any info would be helpful.
Thank for your feedback.

Garfish,
Thanks for the info. I think I will give it a try, being such a cheap upgrade, it seems like a no brainer. I have been so impressed with VD powercords and I/C that the armoned wire is a must at this price point. Thanks Again

Garfish, my main is very close to were my dedicated plugs are located and I have plenty of room on my main box, is a sub really required? Will I get the same improvement with running the 10/3 from the cyro CB to my dedicated outlets?
thanks Gerry

Craig aka Garfish:

I too would like to install the VirtDyn wire for a dedicated line in our new home, but I don't think I want to go the route/expense of a sub-main. If I do this from the main to the outlet, should I leave the armor on or not? What is the reason(s) for removing the armor?

My current system consists of an integrated 120W and matching 120W power amp (bi-amped), with a CD and tuner as sources. I would probably plug these components into a balanced power unit plugged into the dedicated line. Your recommendation about which cryoed breaker from VirtDyn to go with this configuration would be much appreciated.

And would it be more beneficial to have say 2 or 3 dedicated lines, one for amps and the other for sources and preamp? I'm thinking about going with a separate preamp and 2 power amps in the future.

I've seen your system listed here on A'gon - wow - and it seems you have foregone power conditioning and/or surge protection. Does your sub-main take care of this?

Sorry about all these questions. Any advice would be welcome and appreciated.

Thanks.
