VD Revelation Speaker cables -

I read reviews of these cables and usually there are good comments about the cables bass response and dynamics. But no mention of the upper frequency abilities. This makes me wonder...

From Stereo Times Review in December 2005.
"The Revelation sounds surprisingly real and un-electrical. It takes the “system” sound away from your electronics and gives them an almost a human touch. Some might judge this as rolled-off in the highs, or too warm in the midrange. I say it’s neither."

So, I dont know, perhaps I am thinking too much between the lines of this review. Is there rolled off highs in this cable that is detectable to us common folk?.

I have seen other comments on different cables stating about there high frequency characteristics as, "its a natural sound" Do they really mean it does not have extened highs? In my experience, many times that is the case.

Please dont get me wrong I love bass , midrange , dynamics and soundstage qualities but the cable also has to hit the high Frequency extremes.

I would appreciate anyone with experience with these cables would comment on the cables upper frequency abilities.
That is, does it sound like a cymbal crashing with impact and detail and shimmer or does it sound like a muted aluminum pie plate off in the distance?

I find the cymbal a point to draw you into the music. After hearing this cable you say, Man is this cable good!!
There is so much air around the cymbal, you can almost count the brush wires as hit goes acrossed the cymbal.The cymbal is not pushed back behind the stage,being clearly heard and a part of the music. You can hear the attack of the stick, or brush, the shimmer of the cymbal with a natural decay that just floats until fadding away. Not just backround noise like we have all heard before. This cable does not get congested on the top end, Muted, No way. The cable is very clean, revealing, and open from top to bottom. I believe the reviewer had a hard time, just as I am now putting into word what he was hearing. Maybe the leading HARD edge of each note that is heard in the upper end is what is rolled-off, making the music sound natural,not thin, or tinney, and unlocking some hidden timing info on the disc. The music seems more alive and jumps out at you like nothing you heard before. Long burn in time required. Hope this helps. Brian

Rick, and many in his staff can tell you how each series of cables will sound. They can tell you what to expect from one series to another, how they sound different from each other. Believe what they tell you. Each time I have upgraded to the next series, they have hit the nail on the head. They know their cables. Tell them what kind of sound your wanting to hear. They will have a cable to match and then some. They explain every detail of what you will gain and hear from each cable in their line. Believe it because it is the truth.
