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!!

I had an all VD system, consisting mostly of Genesis ICs and PCs with Rev speaker bi-wire cables. I found the VD cables to produce a lot of energy, but unable to resolve innermost details in a meaningful way. I kept getting the feeling something was missing, and I even discussed this with Ric, who I consider a friend.

After demoing a number of cables, including Stealth, I found what I was looking for in the SR cables. I went to an all Tesla SR system, including the Powercell 10-SE. I now have the resolution and imaging I was missing, with a more organic, musical and life-like presentation than I ever had before. I also don't have binding posts in danger of snapping off due to cable weight. You can see my system under Fplanner2000.

The SR cables have definitely taken my system up a few levels from where it was before. Yes, cables do make a difference, but the only way to tell is to try them in your system. I fortunately had a very good dealer that made my experimentation a lot easier than it might otherwise have been. Good luck.
