Virtual Dynamics vs Tesla


Has anyone experience with both VD and SR cables? I'd like to know how these brands compare, especially the Revelation and Genesis line of VD against the SR Tesla Acoustic Reference through Apex (interconnects, speaker cables and/or power cables). I have Genesis IC and I like it soundwise but it's very hard to manage. Also very expensive to cable a system with all Genesis. Thanks!!

Thanks guys, your comments are very helpful. Glory, are you saying that Ultra Clear is better than Genesis 2 RCA?? The Ultra is listed 999.00 and the Genesis 2 RCA 7,225.00 on VD web site. Don't you think this is really odd??
Glory, I agree with you 100%. There is always a bigger fish and trying to find out what's the very best cable out there is kinda foolish.

However, I initiated this thread only to find out if the SR Tesla cables were in the same league as VD Genesis 1.1 cables that I know and are my current references. It seems to be the case and that's good.

I wanted to find cables that are easy to manage and didn't make me miss the Genesis sound. At least not much. I like to try a tweak from time to time and VD cables make that a struggle. After a few months in my system, they had wore me out a little. I guess most people don't care...

Please keep us updated about your impressions on VD Genesis 2.0. You're gonna be one of the first to try it!
Fplanner, thank you very much for sharing your thoughts. I have this feeling that something is missing in my system and I think this is probably cable related.

I can't demo many cables where I live. I had the opportunity to listen to the Tesla Precision Ref SC recently and I liked it very much. That audition drawn my attention to SR cables. Very musical and life-like like you said.

I'm moving out to a new apartment now and the system is disassembled. When I get everything in place, I plan to order some Tesla cables and report my findings. I'm also gonna put my system description here with pictures.
