Review: Virutal Dynamics Nite Interconnect

I upgraded from the Virtual Dynamics Reference to the NITE series and compared both running from my AA Capitole MKII CDP. The upgrade to NITE was not a small one... As both other reviewers mentioned, 3D imaging and musicality increased substantially. This was also right out of the box! Clarity is also one of its virtues; the highs are crystal clear just like silver but without the coherence and midrange bleaching issues.

Does Virutal Dynamics relable somebody elses stranded wire or do they make their cable all in house like the Kimber Select does. The only cable I found to really make anything but a suble kind of difference was the Kimber Select. The Kimber Select just happens to be a cable that was developed and every part of the cable built in house. Most use somebody eleses stranded or solid core wire ,, like from Belden or one of the other large wire manufactures..and repackage it. Any body ever compare this cable to the Kimber Select? Not many cable makers make all their own parts and design and manufacture every part of the cable in house, even the wire itself (except an opt WBT connector if wanted). Just wondering,,, I think the Kimber KS 3035 and KS 1130/1030 are good cables,, of course it's all system dependent. Whats so outstanding about a Quatro fil,,, SPEED,, Nordas gave up so much other qualities for speed. Any one compare this cable to the Kimber Select? I would concider the KS 3035 to be a reference cable. I've had other smaller cable makers make claims to me that their cable was as good or better than the Kimber Select to only find them falling way behind and only being common. Either a silver or copper signature sound.. The finer quality like air, inner detail, TONE, space, transparency, bass definition missing. Seeing a lot of talk about this cable and I already see it for sale used.. A Kimber 3035 comes up a couple times a year on the used market and when it does it sells fast... I'm just wondering. Thx in advance, mike

Mikec, that previous response really had no place in this thread... I've never even seen this kind of stuff on Audioreview.com.

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.

Sorry Buckingham, I don't understand what your refering to? I was asking if anyone ever compared the VD Nite to the Kimber Select and if anyone knows if VD manufactures their own wire in house or uses wire supplied by a wire manufacturer like 90% of all other cable makers do. From my understanding very few audio cable companies actually manufacture their own wire and every other part that makes up their cable. Some times it appears to me that a new cable will hit the boards here on A'gon and seem to get an over bundance of praise,,, almost like it's being more pushed and advertised. Since so many are praising this cable and making clams that its the best cable they used,, I thought it fair to ask if anyone can claim to make a comparision to a very well known expensive but excellant cable like the Kimber Select. There are others as good and even better than the Kimber Select. I just choose a cable that is universally accepted as being a very good cable and a cable that is 100% made in house.. What was so "Unheard" of for asking a few questions? Isn't that what this disussion area is for.. You seem to be offended. I really don't care what you think or say. I'm more interested in keeping to topic about this cable.. It draws interest with so much talk. If you have any other concerns and would like to discuss it,,, look up my email addy and give a hollar,, I'll be glad to answer or explain anything your having a problem understanding.. mike
