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.
