Energy RC-10 or Monitor Audio RS1 for Virtue 2 am?

Luciano,
I own a Virtue TWO. I have the RS6 speakers whom bigshutterbug was refering. They are as balanced as any system I've ever heard. I use the Oppo BDP-83 for my cd player. And with the right ICs and power cords the system is amazing. Besides the room treatments, a power chord upgrade to the ac-dc converter on the amp was the most substantial upgrade I've made. On ebay they sell an AcousticsResearch AP803 powercord that makes an amazing differance. I hope this helps. zmanastronomy

The power cord was a huge upgrade. I couldn't imagine the $150 power supply doing as much as the cord I told you about on ebay. $12 plus shipping and it was VERY substantual. Try the power chord before anything else. Hers a link to them.

Or just go to ebay and type in AR power cords and scroll until you find the 2 prong polorized AP803. Make sure you choose the $12 pair. They have several different prices. The shipping was very fast. Hope this helps. I know some might not thing a power cord can make that much differance but the sonic improvement was more than anything else I've done. Trust me on this one. Hope this helps. zman

I use a RS Audio Illume with Silver Bullet terminals. The speaker cable is just 4 runs of oxigen free 14awg wires. Nothing fancy but they sound great. The upgraded $150 power supply has still got a .99 cent power cord and you would still need to upgrade anyway. Try the AR cord and let me know what you think. It brings out the beast killer in the little Virtue TWO. zman

It was the most significant improvement I made outside of the room treatments. If you can, treat your primary reflection points with acoustic treatments and the imaging will blow your mind. When that cord breaks in you're going to be amazed. Give it 25-40 hours and it will bloom beond what you can imagin. Pick up a Porter Port from this web sight and when it breaks in you'll be on stage with whatever band is playing. I'm glad you got the AR cord. The differance is night and day. Keep comming back to this thread and as I experament I will let you know what works and what doesn't. Have fun. zman

Check out my listening room. I done all the treatments with the bass traps for $150. I never new how good hi-fi could sound until I done this room.

Luciano33, When you get used to the new cord let me know and I'll guide you through where to buy and how to set up a battery power for you amp. The changes you got with the AR cord pale in comparison to batteries. Let me know something. Zman
