| Straightwire Serenade to Crescendo comparison If you are refering to IC's. I have not done the Serenade/ Crescendo A-B, but have found some IC's that flat-out smoked the Crescendo's for about the price of the Serenades, maybe a little less. The IC's are made by a company out of NJ called Virt... | |
| What cable to use with KRELL I use Virtual Image power cables on my both my wife's HT and my 2 channel set-up. For my wife's HT set-up, I bought her a Yamaha RX-V3000 reciever and eventually upgraded the PC on it, the V.I. Sledgehammer PC really made an improvement. The Sledg... | |
| WBT Spades -- Crimping needed?? The WBT spades are locked on with 2 set screws. I am not sure how well the set screws will hold on bare wire. One thing that you can try, I've never done this, is to buy some brass compression ferrules from the harware store and crimp them down wi... | |
| Interconnect under $200 new or used..... I would recommend the Virtual Image Pile Driver 18 IC's. The list price is $225 for a 4' pair, but right now they are at an introductory price of $175. Virtual Image also offers a 30-day return policy. I just recently bought these to A-B against s... | |
| 1st time AG'er. Cables ? ? I would recommend contacting Virtual Image, e-mail is Virtualimage@juno.com, about some interconnects and power cables. Both the PC's and IC's made by V.I. are excellent. If you want to read my previous posts about the V.I. cables, you can do a se... | |
| Spk cable with deep,lush,spacious sound.... I'll put in a third on the Acoustic Zen Satori's. I use the Satori's in my wife's HT set-up, that sometimes is used for 2 channel music. In my rig, I use Kimber Select 3035's, which may be a little pricier than what you want. | |
| need speaker and ic suggestions I don't know about synergy with your components, but I just sold some Straightwire Crescendo's to upgrade to Virtual Image Pile Driver IC's. It was a huge upgrade in sound and a downgrade in price. The V.I.'s cost about 1/3 of the Crescendo's and ... | |
| Power cable status ? When I first started considering upgrading my power cables I did alot of reading on-line. So, after alot of reading of reviews and opinions of others, I went with the Ensemble Megaflux PC's. One review that I read compared the Ensembles to the Shu... | |
| need advice on good amp cable. A small company in New Jersy called Virtual Image has just recently branched out from doing just power cables and is now doing interconnects. Their new interconnect cable, Pile Driver 18, uses silver coated copper conductors with Cardas plugs. Whe... | |
| Power Cords for Parasound PLD-2000 Preamp? I would recommend the Virtual Image Sledgehammer and/or Pile Driver power cables. I got rid of my Ensemble Megapower Flux's for these. | |

| Recommend Power Cord for HC Ultimate Outlet I use the Virtual Image Sledgehammer and the Pile Driver PC's. I personally have never used the PS Audio UO, but I was told by a friend that it really muddies up the bottom end, though I did notice this effect with a PS Audio Juice Bar. I would re... | |

| Favorite Movie Soundtrack I always liked the sound track to the movie "The Fifth Element", especially the tracks of the Diva's opera. | |

When I first started upgrading power cables, I ran across a review that stated the Ensemble Mega Powerflux PC's out performed the Shunyata King Cobra. So, I bought Ensemble PC's. Then a ... |
