VD Revelation Speaker cables -

Thanks for the encouragement. Wow ! 800 hours, 33 days 24/7, !!!

I play my stereo about 2 hours a day M-F and maybe 5-8 hours on weekend days. So about 22 hours a week.

At this rate, it will take me 36 weeks or 254 days !
I hope I expedited this break in time by using my Audiodharma Cable Cooker with them for a week .

I ordered a 10 foot bi-wire pair. 3-4 weeks for delivery.

Question : Since one speaker will be much closer to my Amp than the other, is ther any suggestions as to how to configure that cable?

I thought that VD said to keep it in a circular pattern, but that was always a no-no. And, based on the comments of the cables stiffness, is that even possible ?

Thank you all for the great opinions and comments.
Your replys mean more to me than any paid reviewer remarks.

The stiffness of the cable is a real concern. I need a 10 foot bi-wire set, and one speaker is much closer to the Amp than the other. Broken Speaker Posts !!! Yikes!!!

I also agree that since there is a new version about to come out I should be able to find a set at a great price. But,I am having trouble.

711, got any extra's laying around ?

Thank you Dennis.
I have a VD Master Power cord of recent vintage that I was going to try with my Pass Amp.
I also have a Shunyata Annaconnda, and a Purist Dominus C to try.
If the VD Power cord proves to have possibilities, next on the list will then be a Revelation Power cord

Well,I received the Revelation speaker cables the week of Thanksgiving.
I was actually sent the Revelation 2.0 ,the newer version.

I put the cables on my Audiodharma Cable cooker for another week before trying them.

The install was a task, but with the good advise from you guys I was able to prebend in place.
Really not that big of a deal.

I too have recessed speaker terminals. I found that Cardas makes an excellent spade/bananan adapter that greatly helped that hookup.

When I first tried them them , I thought the upper frequencies were limited, Oh know,just what I feared!
But now that they have been playing music thru them for about 50 hours that is no longer a concern. They continue to improve.

So, even at this point they are keepers.

There is a sound quality that is different from all my other cable trials .
Perhaps its the dynamics that are different.I find myself singing more (scares the dog).

I will continue ...

Merry Christmas !!!

My Revelation Speaker Cables now have a 100 hours of music playing thru them. (I had them on my cable cooker for 5 days prior to playing music).
I must say all the qualities that I was hoping for are in this cable. So far I am very pleased with my choice.

By the way , I believe there is huge synergy with VD and Purist Dominus Ferox C Power cables.

I will try to explain this ...

I linked together a Purist Dominus Ferox C power cable (with an adapter)into a 20A VD Master power cable (Dont ask why I thought of doing this)

I then plugged that combo into my Hydra 8.
My Sony LCD and other digital equipment are plugged into the Hydra 8.
With this combo VD/Purist the picture quality with my Sony LCD became the best I have ever seen !!!
I mean the colors were vibrant and the picture had more detail, amazing!.
Using just the VD or the Purist alone into the Hydra were no where close to the quality of using them linked together.

So, if its excellent for Video, I am mix and matching with the VD/Purist in my Audio with great results.
I am using a 20A VD Master into my Hydra 8. From my Hydra 8 to my APL 3910 is a Purist Dominus C power cord.
From APL to my Amp is a Balanced Purist Dominus C interconnect.
My speaker cables are now the new VD Revelation 2 Bi-wire and I have just ordered a Purist Anniversary Power cord for my Amp.

VD and Purist they work great together !!!

Clio09,
So you dont think the VD Master Power cord would be good powering an Amp?

I have used the VD Master power cord (20Amp version) to power my Hydra 8 in which all my digital is plugged into it, including my Sony 60" Widescreen.
I must say the picture is the best using the VD Master as the main cord , so you you are probably right its best used on digital.
I still will try it on my Amp when I get the Rev speaker cables , what the heck.
Thanks for the info.
