| Kubala Sosna and Virtual Dynamics - Similar?? Interesting comments - my experiences were somewhat different with the VD and PAD cables. With PAD I got a "middle of the hall" and somewhat "veiled" presentation, which I didn't care for at all. On the other hand, VD puts me in the front row, whe... | |
| Kubala Sosna and Virtual Dynamics - Similar?? Teck-Since you're now down to CD source, if I follow correctly, my input is once again VD. I just replaced an Epiphany X PC on my APL-modded Denon 3910 with a VD Genesis and the difference is staggering. Much better bass and lower midrange (hearin... | |
| Trying to extract more from my Vandersteen My suggestion, since you are noticing a difference for the better with different IC cables, is to try to lay your hands on some Virtual Dynamics cords - you can "rent" them from the Cable Company. They really let the music through and I'm pretty s... | |
| Confused on cable, interconnects and ac cord? I would look at Audience Au24's used for IC's and speaker wire. Great value, excellent sound and reputation. Also good resale value if purchased used. If you read the reviews on them, you'll be impressed, but even more so once you hear them in you... | |
| APL NWO2.5 ? Steve-Congrats on your new toy. I know you've been waiting a while for it and we'll be interested to hear your reaction as it breaks in. Looks like I will also be getting one in the not too distant future.Just put a VD Genesis PC on my 3910 and it... | |
| Dynaudio Evidence Master need speaker cables At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I also highly recommend the VD cables - probably at least Master level. For a real treat, there is always Revelation series above that - simply outstanding, IMHO. | |
| Cardas or Virtual Dynamics power cords? Opinions? I got the Genesis PC to actually hold between my power conditioner and CD player this am. We are closing doors very gently for fear of disturbing the perfect balance. I pre-bent everything and then placed the bulk of the weight on an insulated 4" ... | |
| Elrod vs. Virtual Dynamics: Thoughts??? I own 2 Elrod Statements and have them on my amp and power conditioner - haven't found anything better. VD Revelation is on my preamp and VD Genesis will be on my source (with a little luck). Haven't found anything better than VD for front end, no... | |
| Cardas or Virtual Dynamics power cords? Opinions? Islandear- thanks for sharing your experience. Where exactly did you put the dowel? I'm hopeful of using the rear wall as support and measuring the bend to both power conditioner and the CD player (about 18"). I think if I can somehow support the ... | |
| Cardas or Virtual Dynamics power cords? Opinions? Rja- Yes, those magnetic ends are "sticky" so you have to be careful. Interesting that you had a bottlecap around your stereo gear...Brouch - Just received a Genesis PC and will be attempting to install it this weekend between my power conditioner... | |
| Cardas or Virtual Dynamics power cords? Opinions? John-Just so you don't feel alone, I too have almost zero space behind my rack and a big TV almost against 1 side of it, so I have 1 access point, period. I need to contort myself behind a speaker, carefully stepping between 10 feet of coiled bi-w... | |
| Cardas or Virtual Dynamics power cords? Opinions? If you REALLY want to understand, call Rick at VD. He is the best source to answer your questions. Comments by others, whether well-intentioned or not, will only be misleading. The AA poster above would have found out the answers to his issues had... | |
| VAC Preamp I've had a VAC Standard LE and didn't find it "tubey" at all. In my system, I directly compared it to a $10K Thor pre and the VAC at 1/2 the price won me over. Excellent detail, imaging and most of all, musicality. High quality build and excellent... | |
| Questions regarding Sunfire Cinema Grand setup Usually the lower binding posts are for bass, but I would call the Monitor Audio to be sure. There is a slight chance both sets may be coupled internally, in which case they will be able to tell you how to decouple them, etc. It makes sense to get... | |
| Questions regarding Sunfire Cinema Grand setup If you can figure out a way to bi-wire your speakers, that is the best solution, IMHO. My speakers were bi-wireable and I ran the Current to the mids and up, with the Voltage to the bass. Sounded great. I agree with the previous posters - you real... |
