Who has tried Virtual Dynamics cables?

I recently purchased the Signature line of Virtual Dynamics cables (power, speaker, and interconnects) to replace Transparent Reference speaker, Nordost Quatro Fil interconnects, and Shunyata Powersnake Viper V1 and V2 power cords. I found a significant improvement in clarity, detail, lower background noise, tighter bass, and a greater sense of being there. The improvements were so significant, I took my Shunyata Hydra out of the system. Obviously, I probably should have replaced one set of cables at a time so that I could evaluate one change at a time. However, Rick at Virtual Dynamics indicated the cables work together better and, of course, I couldn't wait to hear them. Has anyone tried them as a complete set?

Gunbei, you can edit your system once you've posted it. That's what makes it so cool!

Hi Mzn50. Yeah Rick said the orders are piling up and the wait will only get longer now that word is getting around about the cryo option and his cables in general. I should have my cryo'd wires in a week or two so I'll be able to give you a one week in advance preview. Good luck!

My final assessment of VD P3 cables.

I highly recommend VD cables on amps and transports.

I feel Virtual Dymanic cords works best when with components have mechanical movements or has high current storage. I say this because it seems these components are the most vulnerable to vibration, and I feel there is some correlation between sharing alternating current with the rest of the city and micro-vibrations within your components.

As for components with no mechanical movement or low-level current, other cords might work better. You can use other brand cables as tone controls to suit your personal taste on preamps and such.

As noted earlier, VD cables are best when directly connected to components, compared to only connected it to an outlet splitter. This probably means other aftermarket powercords are still vulnerable to factors that will impede transports and amps from performing up to its potential.

That is my current personal assessment.
