Virtual Dynamics Power Cords Master Series

Kana,I wonder who gave the SOL to you in the first place?? I thought that your review on the Master digital cable was almost accurate since your system only had one VD cable in it. I have made many mistakes in assuming that a cable was responsible for problems in the sound ,when it actually turned out to be my equipment stand that was responsible.The cable was able to show that detriment and I had to realise where it originated from. Unless you have had an all Vd system, how can you review a single cable and be sure that the results aren't being edited by the other cables. Also the SOL circuit is just part of what makes these cables so special, ferrite beading as well as solid core copper, cryoed ,cooked for break in.Strapper 211 is just at the tip of the icebrg with the pc, the ic's will show how far one can go( yes the Rev is expensive, but judging from Strapper211 system; I think he is ok with that).Kana I can't help but feel, that you may have had some bad experiences outhere, and think that a more fair approach would yield a possible Revelation-Take care Dennis

Dennis - First, I'm glad you & Strapper211 are happy with your VDs.

I stand by what I said in my "almost accurate" Master AES review posted over 8 months ago. Have you heard a 5M Master AES or a 5M Au24 AES in your system?

I've discussed the review, the single issue cable issue and the latest SOL developments with Rick.

I'm sorry, but I can't buy into the idea that you need to completely rewire your system before you can evaluate a single cable. If that's the case with VDs or any other cable company, than they should never send out a single cable on trial.

I have nothing against Rick, I'm just not prepared to spend more cables, than I've spent on the entire system to hear
a "possible Revelation."

I've been trying different combinations of SOL inside my equipment for over year, so I'm familar with what it does.
Have you tried it inside your gear? Aloha, Dan

Thank You Dennis for your Kind input.What I am trying to say Kana is that I have spent thousands upon thousands of dollars to get subtle to marginal improvements in sound,and here is a power cord that bettered a 3750.00 dollar power cord by a mile.I did not think my system could be improved by that much by any piece of equipment,let alone a power cord.I find that amazing and must shower praise on Virtual Dynamics and its designer Rick.

Strapper211- I know what you're trying to say.
Like most audiophiles, you've "spent thousands upon thousands of dollars" on plug and play outside the box items like power cords, and only gotten "marginal improvements in sound."

Rick's cables powered by SOL are like adding an active devise, but SOL can also be applied inside the box for a lot less $$$$.

I've been one of the few that has taken the time to experiment with SOL, unlike others on this forum who
ridiculed his ideas without ever trying it.

PS- If your girlfriend finds speakers at Best Buy that sound like your eidilon diamonds for a 1000 dollars, please let me know. ;-)

Hi Kana,I understand your point,but I am not very well versed at dealing with the inside of components so I guess I am a slave to the outboard updates,but if you can get that kind of improvement inside thats great.As for my girlfreind,she is so naive in audio,because of the size of my diamonds her only benchmark was to compare them to the overgrown boom boxes at Best Buy.But she is great for getting me in to concerts for free.
