I agree with the posts regarding the VD cables. I have always been a skeptical believer in cables and never put too much into power cords. Before the VD I tried Shunyata, Synergistic Research, etc and though I heard some difference, it was never enough to make me run out and buy something. I was one of the few who got the free Power 3 cables. I got them in Dec and let them just sit around for almost a month before trying them. This delay was a combination of laziness, the holidays, and my skepticism that a $300 power cord to do anything more than the expensive ones I tried previously. When I finally got around to trying it, I plugged the pc into my preamp. I was not in critical listening mode but I was immediately amazed at how much more dynamic the sound was. My soundstage also got substantially wider and fuller, as if the sound was now enveloping me, versus seeming like it was only coming from the front of my room. I liked what I heard so much I went ahead and bought 5 more Power 3s used on Audiogon for the rest of my system. To cut a long story short, I am so happy and I have decided to upgrade to the Master series power cables.
Yes I got my initial Power 3 for free but I paid for the rest of the VD cables. They give me what I am looking for in a system which is dynamics and an incredible soundstage.
