Cardas or Virtual Dynamics power cords? Opinions?


My system is Ayre Acoustics C5, K1, and Monoblocks. Speakers: Sophia 2s. I am considering new power cords. Which will give me the most benefit, 4 Cardas Golden Reference---or 3 Virtual Dynamics "David 2s" on preamp and amps + a Virtual Dynamics Revelation (old vers.) on CD player?

Mix Purist Dominus C Ferox and or Anniversary cables with the Virtual Dynamics cables ...what synergy !!!

Just for the heck , I connected a VD Master and a Purist Dominus power cord together with a home made adapter to power my 60" Sony LCD.
Guys picture quality became outstanding!!
Each cord by themselves was ok but together, wow!

So, I am using a VD power cord to my Hydra 8 . A Purist Dominus C power cord to my APL Cd Player.
Purist Dominus C balanced interconnects from APL to Pass Labs 350.5 Amp.
VD Revelation 2 bi-wire to my Speakers and a Purist Anniversary power cord for my Pass Amp.
My Revelations 2 Biwire has probaly 400+ hours on them.
I am very glad I purchased them.Everyhting sounds in balance.
Connecting them up is a bear . I am using on the speaker end Cardas spade/banna adapters and it really helped in the hook up.

On another note, I was trying to seperate the biwire speaker ends from the magnets drawing together. I have been using Vibrapods to do that.
Talking recently to VD however , they say some people are putting some sort of metal between the magnet speaker biwire ends. The magnets then snap together with the metal bewteen.
He says some have expressed it as a tweek.
I found that beer bottle caps works great for that. Problem is, you have to drink 4 beers to complete the project tweek.
