Virtual Dynamics Recall

Response to earlier post/question " ..anyone using the V.D. cords with power cond...?"

I have a Power three "powering" my PS P300. It was a significant improvement over the Silver Audio "Power Burst" that it replaced.

Although I understand the reasoning behind not using a power cond. in conjuntion with the Virtual cords, I'm still not willing to part with my P300 and the marvelous sonic things it does.

Also, as good as the Virtual cords are (and they are VERY good) , I'm still not convinced that they could clean up contaminated AC (& certainely not re-generate) the AC the way a P300, or similar device, can do.

That being said, I am, however, using an "Audition" cord "straight" into the wall to my amp -- with fantastic results.

ROCK ON RICK!!

You got it Sherod!

My own little pet theory (for what it's worth) is that I think because the Virtual cords address the problems of parasitic mechanical vibrations (there's a mouth full!), by utilizing some kind of "dampening" compound/material in the construction, they work best with that PRODUCES these type of unwanted effects -- ie. big amps, power conditioners, etc. Anything with buzzing, transformers.

Again, at least this has been my experience with the Virtual stuff. I still prefer my Acoustic Zen "Tsunami"'s on my front end gear.

Like you said, it's whatever "floats your music boat".

Either way, it's pretty amazing the way Rick's cords have taken us crazy band of 'philes by storm, don't you think?
