Review: Virutal Dynamics Nite Interconnect

Category: Cables

I recently compared the Nite to the Quattro Fil RCA interconnects between my pre-amp and amp. I was introduced to Virtual Dynamics through Audiogon and was extremely impressed with their power cords, especially the Nite series. Therefore, while I thought the Quattro Fil was as "state of the art" as I could afford and was and is a good quality interconnect, I just had to try the Nite interconnect. This is an initial review, as the Nite has only been installed for three days. The Nite dramatically expands the soundstage in ALL directions, presents a more three-dimensional space with lots of air and harmonics with bloom and decay more vividly rendered than with the Quattro Fil. Opera becomes much more involving, with greater separation and micro/macro dynamics with instruments, chorus and especially major performers. Organ notes are deeper and bass in general is more controlled but still "connected" with the music. Jazz trios are much more "there". The Quatrro Fil is more forward, with great center fill but vocals more separated from the accompanists. Nite has a much deeper soundstage, and an dramtically improved sense of the venue and bloom and decay of the music. Very, very involving. I will not return to the Quattro Fil.

Mikec, you should give Rick Schultz at Virtual Dynamics a call, he can clear up any questions you might have about his product. I've been running his entire cryo'd Audition Package since the beginning of the year and during the summer upgraded the digital cable to Nite.

Even cryo'd and cooked at the factory Virtual Dynamics cables need lot's of time to fully break-in but when they do, wow! Straight out of the box I've always noticed that Virtual Dynamics cables and cords throw a massive soundstage with great center focus. They do sound a bit icy early on, but that wears away after a few weeks to a month, then you get both detail and flowing musicality.
