Kubala Sosna and Virtual Dynamics - Similar??

I had an all Kubala Emotion cables on trial.
Power cords, spkr cables, interconnects.
To me, with my system ,ears and music, the sound was kinda of dead in the upper frequencies. They had good bass and midrange but without the upper end I could not get into the music.
Some say the Kubala dont sizzel the high end like other cables do and that it was sounds different. I think they actually mute the high end, high freq instruments lose there smack and feel.
Perhaps it was a impedance mismatch with my speakers and the Kubala cables or something like that.

They must sound good with other systems though because many others rave about them.

I own VD Power cables and speaker cables and to me for a copper cable it has great high end extension, of course along with bass, midrange, soundstage and all the things we hold dere.
They replaced silver Speaker cables.

No special order. I bought the 20 Amp Master Power cord for my Hydra 8.

I am mixing Purist Cables with VD. I beleieve they synergize very well .

About a year later, I was trying to figure out what to use as Speaker cables . I wanted the Purist Dominus , but they are way too pricey. I came across a deal on the biwire 10 foot new Revelation 2. I dont regret it.

I have a Purist Dominus C power cord to my APL 3910 and a Purist Dominus C balanced interconnect from my APL to my Pass Labs x350.5 Amp.(No preamp) I also have the new Purist Anniversary Power cord on my Pass Labs Amp.

The Kubala is not the same type of cable.
Cost wise they are probably comparable.
Sound ,different spectrums.
The Kubala would be descibed as a midrange cable.
If your system is on the bright side or should I say highly analytical, they would be great.

I have 3 dedicated outlets .
2-20Amp for my Digital and Analog and a 30 Amp for my Pass Labs Amp.
Amps lose some of the dyanmics when plugged into a conditioner, including the Hydra 8 and the Hydra 2.
Thats why Power cords are so imporatant on Amps too!.
Just run them straight into the wall with a good oulet. (I use The Wattgate 381)

Different cords match better with different equipment.

Generally, the better cords on Amps are ususally heavy gauge.
I really liked the Shunyata Annaconda, but prefer the Purist Anniversary. I was never impressed with the other Shunyata Power cords or for that matter there speaker cables.

Btstrg, The Pebbles are good , not that good however.

Btstrg, I get the impression you own the Kubala's cables or your just a wise as.

I did not mean to offend anyone with my personal opinion of the Kubala cables.

Joe Kubala was kind enough to send the cables for me to try. That is much more than many other cable company would do.
I have to believe that the Kubala cables would be very good in different systems, they just did not click in mine.
But there are many people who think they are the great. So, again , it must be a system match up thang.

The Machina Dynamica products are like seasoning, but they wont change the general sonic footprint of the cables.

By the way , I do have the wall plates. They are a pain because most power cords have trouble with the size of the opening in the wall plate. I dont see any sonic merits to it either.

Teck5,

Additional ideas..

You also may try to use the wall as additional VD support.
That is, bend the cable so the cable bends at near a right angle at the wall pushing towards the CD Player.
Of course the power cable has to be long enough to do this.
Also, for the wall outlets, try using the Wattgate 381 . It has the grip of death and will help grab the VD.

All the other suggestions about support underneath the cable and tieing a cable to them attached to your stand are good ideas.
My outlets are 4 feet off the ground so I also am using a large Radio Shack project box filled with pennies that sits atop a 1/2 Tube trap behind my TV near the outlet.
I have tied a lamp cord wire around the heavy project box and then around the VD Plug that goes into the wall.
Also, try putting a strip of electrical tape around the edge of the VD IEC that may tighten it up.
I am using a 20A VD Master cable to power my Hydra 8 and I think it is great!
