Virtual Dynamics powercords How good?


Looking at upgrading a few powercords and i'm thinking of the Canadian company Virtual Dynamics due to a friends recommendation. Does anyone have experience with the lower end Power one, two, or three? Should i blow the cash right away on an Audition, David or Nite cable instead? Has anyone found their power conditioner to be redundant after putting the power cables in their system? Thanks.

I had tried the Power 3 and Power 1's before moving up to a complete Audition cable package. In each case there was a noticable and definite improvement. I can't speak for the cables above the Audition but from what I've heard the Nites are excellent in every way. What I've noticed from the lower end cables (PC's) is that the bass seems to come alive if overly much in the 3's. With each step up you get better detail and top end extension. I have found that all tend to roll off the highs a little. As an example - if you play Deep Purple's Machine Head you will notice a lot of hiss from the master tape. This is all but eliminated from my system with the Audition cables all around. This didn't have quite as pronounced effect on my friends system to which we hookded the PC's to his Meridian mono-blocks and the IC's between his pre (Denon integrated) and CD (Arcam FMJ 23). The Arcam is much more resolving and extended than my own Musical Fidelity A3 CD. I much prefer the Arcam to my MF. Of course this can be fixed with an outboard DAC as the transport in the MF is excellent. See if there is a fellow A'goner in your are who is willing to drop by with his VD cables and try them out on your system. Good luck.
