Best Sounding Tube Dac you ever heard.
Joe, I own the Kora Hermes and I love it. I'll have to check to see if my Theta transport can output a balanced signal. And I do plan to experiment with some NOS 6922s when I get the chance. 
Virtual Dynamics + Ensemble Power Cords- good mix
Viggen, I never had the chance to try out that power cord swap, and I can't now because I have no speaker cables at all to play my system through. I still have my D60 as well as the Cardas L15 which was the last digital cable I had hooked up, so I... 
Describe your listening chair
Actually Viggen, our listening environments aren't that much different. But we make do with what we have and enjoy it! 
Who has tried Virtual Dynamics cables?
Hi Erik, sorry to hear they didn't work out, which cords did you swap out for the Power 3s?I'll be receiving the cryo'd Audition Package soon and am a bit nervous because if I don't like it, I've already sold all my speaker cables and will need to... 
Virtual Dynamics + Ensemble Power Cords- good mix
Hi Ramesh. While I'm still waiting for my cryo'd Audition Package to arrive, I had already been running the Power 2s on my transport, DAC and preamp, and an Acoustic Zen Tsunami on my amp. Later talking with Rick, he felt if there was any place to... 
Virtual Dynamics + Ensemble Power Cords- good mix
Hi Turbo, just 20 hours and you like em? That's pretty encouraging. What differences have you noted from your previous cables? 
Genghis Khan: opinions? vs others eg FIM
Ooops, sorry. I thought this was a history thread. 
Virtual Dynamics + Ensemble Power Cords- good mix
Hi Sutts, I'm glad the VD cords are working for you, I've had great success with just three of Rick's Power 2 cords myself. So much so, that a week and a half ago I ordered the whole Audition Package with the entire cryo treatment. I can't wait to... 
Hotrod your Hermes
I own the new Kora Hermes with the Auricaps, JenaLabs cryo wiring, etc., and I was wondering besides the obvious tube rolling, if you folks think my DAC could benefit from some of the mods mentioned here. I'm not technically savy enough to attempt... 
Who has tried Virtual Dynamics cables?
"...accidentally pressed pay". I love that! I can't even count how many times I've gone "doh!" right after I pressed "order" or "buy". 
Who has tried Virtual Dynamics cables?
Subaru, that's a good one, just think how my dinky Bel Canto DAC 1.1 went airborne with my VD Power 2s. The Auditions I'm getting have three smaller strands. so hopefully they'll bend easier.Viggen, I'll keep your review and experiences in mind wh... 
Are You Content With Your System?
Viggen, yes I listen to KCRW once in awhile too. I just saw and heard some VERY neat ethnic music this weekend at Cal State Long Beach. I was there both days for my Maya Certificate course and CSULB was having a Native Amercian Pow Wow all weekend... 
can speaker cables help?
My brief experience in this hobby agrees with George's statements. I have and haven't noticed changes both good and bad to my system's sound by altering components, cables/cords, isolation tweaks, power conditioning and positioning.But that being ... 
can speaker cables help?
I completely agree with the two previous posts, speaker placement is SO very important. My listening chair has castors so I can roll around and change my listening distance. The change in soundstaging and location of musical elements is very notic... 
Who has tried Virtual Dynamics cables?
Hi Mzn50. Yeah Rick said the orders are piling up and the wait will only get longer now that word is getting around about the cryo option and his cables in general. I should have my cryo'd wires in a week or two so I'll be able to give you a one w...
