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 can speak about direct comparasion between a digital 1.5 M, V.D. MASTER and a NIRVANA T-2 1.5 M BNC
the master was more lush and have more energy in the lower extension but lack the ultimate definition and also the decay. Here it is a matter of taste if you like it warm or your components are on the bright side you may give a try for the revelation but they are EXPENSIVE but with Rick the service is very good.
for that money you must compare it to a pair of NIRVANA SX (same price range and probably cheaper) there is also all the KIMBER KS serie that worth a try
Hope this help ...
