Virtual Dynamics Recall
You got it Sherod!My own little pet theory (for what it's worth) is that I think because the Virtual cords address the problems of parasitic mechanical vibrations (there's a mouth full!), by utilizing some kind of "dampening" compound/material in ... 
Virtual Dynamics Recall
Response to earlier post/question " ..anyone using the V.D. cords with power cond...?"I have a Power three "powering" my PS P300. It was a significant improvement over the Silver Audio "Power Burst" that it replaced.Although I understand the reaso... 
Punchy power cord
Ditto, ditto on the Virtual Dynamics cords. "Punchy" or "D-Y-N-A-M-I-C is the first word I would use to describe these great cords.I'm using an "Audition" and a couple "Power 3's" to great effect.The Power 3 especially was a big surprise, as it ou... 
Anyone have any experience with CJ Evolution 2000?
Atemus:Also check past "threads" via search engine at this site.I too, once owned this beast of an amp. It's a BIG moth-a, 114 lbs. Hard to really have an accurate "sound memory" as it was over 8 yrs. ago, but, as stated above, the amp was very mu... 
Who has tried Virtual Dynamics cables?
Just wanted to pitch in with my results on the V.D. cords.I recently replaced my Custom Power Model 11 with the V.D. "Audition" on my amp. After thorough break in, a DEFINATE improvement, in all areas. Especially notice a more "relaxed", and fluid... 
Would the Audio Aero Capitole better Theta
Believe it. Yep! The Capitole (24/192 version) is the single best all-in-one CD player I've had the pleasure to own -- and I've heard, and/or auditoned my share.At the very LEAST, hear one before you buy ANYTHING (or upgrade).Cheers! 
LLano Amps.
I've been waiting for this thread to pop up so I could help "spread the gospel according to Llano".I had Randy White (one of THE BEST guys in this whole crazy industry) custom build a "Trinity 400R" for me, after a short, but very convincing audit... 
Innersound ESLs Amplifier
I "second" the Llano Trinity 200.I sold my Innersound ESL (which is a darn great amp) to buy a Trinity 400 for my Logan Oyssey's.That should tell you something.Good luck! 
Martin-Logan Comparison
I read this post with a slight sigh of relief.I also own the Odyssey's , but ALWAYS wondered if the Prodigy's were any better, in ANY area (other than the obvious deep bass). I really wanted the Prodigy's, but just couldn't swing the cabbage for '... 
AC cord for Martin Logan Speakers
Also...For the price of a pair of AC cords, you could buy a PS Audio P300 (used). One would think that this would make an even bigger improvement, over just about any AC cord. 
Speaker wire for Martin Logan reQuests?
Hello Delphi:I hate to further steer you away to other things, but being a former reQuest owner (now own the Odyssey's) you might want to try to find the InnerSound ESL amp to borrow for an auditon. It has an absolute magical "synergy" with the re... 
Meridian 508.24 or Levinson 39 ?
I also once owned a No. 39. Replaced it with the Audio Aero Capitole 24/192. Considerably better -- in ALL respects.You should add the Capitole to your short list to audition before buying.I auditioned many CD players (& seperates) but always ... 
Phono stage suggestions?
Also check out the B.A.T. P5 or P10. All tube, monster power supplies (two huge Toriodial's, one per ch.) zero feedback, etc. TONS of gain.All the audio adjectives apply to both at a more than reasonable price. 
You were pleased with AP Oval 9 but you upgraded..
Chelillingworth:Did you ever try the AP Silver Oval speaker cable?I'm currently using a "shot-gun" set of AP Oval 9 / Silver Oval, with pretty good results, but....The upgrade-bug is calling my name again. I'm wondoring how the Satori (or Hologram... 
SS amp and tube preamp combo for Martin Logan Sl-3
I also would have to say the Innersound ESL amp. Best performance-per-dollar. Smooth, musical;, NEVER hard or harsh w/TONS of gain.
