From Virtual Dynamics to ?


Hmmmm... how do I phrase my question?

I thought of upgrading power cord to my amp, Shunyata Copperhead. After some research, I come to Virtual Dynamics power cord Nite II or David, which I could pick up from A'gon.

The real problem is VD is so stiff and there is no way I could hook it up to my amp without severe bending. So, my question is what cords share similar sound with VD. I mean, clean and big sound. Or perhaps, what have ex VD owners replaced it/them with?

I also know that The founder of VD has started a new company, High Fidelity Cables, which naturally would sound better in a same mould. Unfortunately, the asking price is beyond my range.

Appreciate your feedback.

Rick, of Virtual D, moved on to produce Hi Fidelity cables, which do not share the snake like thickness of the VD products. Sadly, they do share the uber-prices of VD's upper end models. I agree that the VD cables are still very competitive, I still have a few Davids which see regular use, so you might try those severe bends to see how you get on. I used to start at the plug end and work out a shape that would get the connection sort of straight on by the time it met the wall or component. And don't be afraid to use books or strings to help hold it all up, LOL.
