Anyone heard the new Virtual Dynamics Revelation?


I had the chance to talk to Rick Schultz at RMAF and I looked at the Revelation cable but Have never heard anything about them. Any comments?

Dmurfet,

Yes these cables are stiff but as you mention very sonically satisfying.

With regards to the speaker cables, these also come with 45 degree spades which makes connection to binding post much easier in some cases.
I've had extensive experience with the Master and now own the complete Revelation system. I couldn't imagine that they would be tremedously better but they are. The master sounds a little bright and less natural by comparison.

See my answer on VD vs. Transparent for more.
Cenline,

I agree with all of your comments on the Revelation. Especially the dynamics. The last cable I added were the revelation speaker cables and these go a long way in making the overall sound that dynamic.

I want to qualify my comment about brightness on the Master. These cables are definetly not bright. I misused this adjeticve. What I meant was that they sounde very slightly vieled compared to the Revelation. Sorry for the confusion. Obviously bright is the oppoistie of vieled.

These are both great cables.

I just recently replaced a regualr Revelation IC from CD player to preamp to Revelation Signature. The rest of the system is standard Revelation. I have about 100 hours and once again, I'm amazed at the difference between his levels of cable.

They have everything the standard cables do: dynamics, tonaql purity, resolution, etc. However, they substantially push the limits of transparency, tonal purity and soundstaging. These are really incredible. Highly recommended over standard Revelation.

Much better than Master. Once again, the Masters sound great but slightly veiled and compressed compared to the Rev and especially Rev-sig. That should tell you how good the Revelations really are.

I plan to replace my other Rev IC to Signature. This is really a big difference. At this point, I think they have improved my sound more than replacing my Krell FPB 600 with a CAT JL-2. They are that dramatic.

A must try!
I have been experimenting with the Revelation Signature and have found that these really take at least 500+ hours to sound their best. The difference between the first couple hundred hours and 500+ is pretty amazing.

At first I was questioning the signature over the standard Revelation but wait and you will be rewarded!
