Spatial Computer Velocity Bridge VB1

Cdente, the VB1s should be delivered tomorrow. If so, I'll road test em' and report back.

Good deal. Looking forward to hearing about their impact on the Paradigms with the Beryllium drivers. You really have nothing to lose given the money-back guarantee.

I am also quite curious about this product. Cdente, you really like them. As I get older my ears cannot take any sort of high frequency ringing or etched sound. I am very, very sensitive to this in one ear especially.

Just got the VB1s today and plugged them in. I noticed an immediate change in the acoustic presentation. Not sure yet if the presentation is better -- just different. At first, I thought the VB1s burned a fog away and I started to really hear the music.

But after re-listening to some familiar CDs, for some reason, it seems as though the mid and low bass was rolled-off, and the midrange was a tad exaggerated. Kinda like when I tried driving my speakers off the amp's 16 ohm output taps a while back.

I am honestly not sure if my ears are simply used to listening to sonic swill. So to be fair to all, I'll do some more listening and will try and have the devices checked out.

I don't know what's inside the little black boxes, but it's passive. I suspect that whatever it is, it must have some combo of capacitive and/or inductive properties.

Be back ....

With this product being so new the jury hasn't even convened yet let along made a decision. I suppose their effectiveness will vary depending how severe high frequency ringing exists in a given speaker and the amount of RF/EMI in its environment. We all know how important impendence matching is at the source component level. Maybe this applies as well between speaker driver and speaker cable. There is a VB1 thread over on Audiocircle you will want to check out with more information.
