Cardas or Virtual Dynamics power cords? Opinions?

I am just beginning to learn about the Virtual Dynamics lineup, and so far mine are still breaking in. I have ordered more of them, they already sound so spacious and musical with my Ayre System.

WOW !!! Virtual Dynamics, Baby, all the way... I am planning a yard sale to unload my Transparent Cable !!!

Well, I am auditioning the Cardas power cords which came today from the Cable Company. I will have about a week to play them, and then will try the power cords from Virtual Dynamics which should arrive on the 17th.

The Cardas cords already make the system sound richer, fuller, smoother, bolder with more authority. Not sure how I will feel about all this in a week, but right now I am impressed that power cords make such a difference, and I think I like the Cardas sound so far. But, from what I have read here, the Virtual Dynamics may turn out to be even more exciting. I will keep you posted as to the developments and my final choice.

Have tried both Cardas and Virtual Dynamics with my system now. The Virtual Dynamics are much more impressive, staggering by comparison! I am getting Virtual Dynamics and MORE of them!!

My conclusion is that nobody should spend money on a power cord until they have listened to Virtual Dynamics power cords! period Period PERIOD

I continue to be impressed with the dramatic change Virtual Dynamics power cords have made in my (Ayre Acoustics - Wilson Sophia 2) system. I added three Nite power cords today, and even though not broken in, the tonal quality is beautiful and the black background in the soundstage is stunning. I am getting Master speaker cable and interconnects Jan 29th, and will keep updating this as they are added, and as everything has time to break in a bit. I would not have believed that power cords could make such an improvement in an already great system, but it is a whole new animal now, and continues to increase!

Just hooked up my total system today with Virtual Dynamics cables and power cords. I loved it and a friend named Godfrey came to listen Godfrey is a seasoned audiophile with a vast knowledge of music, and tends to be highly critical of any audio upgrade. Here is what he said tonight about my system! Paul Bee

Glory HALLELUJAH! Its the second coming!!

Paul has discovered that one of the speakers was out of phase.* (see note below) That has now been corrected and the whole system just sings! All the old favorites sound brand, spanking, new - and as alive as the real thing.

Virtual Dynamics says their design has more than a touch of the divine and I am inclined to believe them.

You must hear this for yourselves.

***********************

* Note that the Virtual Dynamics power cords and cables are very stiff and must be forcably bent to form a fit. In installing the first round of power cords, one of the speaker connections came loose on the back of one of the Ayre amps and I accidentally put it back reversed, where it played out of phase for about a week. But all is wonderful NOW.
