Virtual Dynamics Revelation-2 speaker cables

Argyro,

I went through hell and back with the cables during the break in....one day, they can sound good and another absolute terrible. I used the Isotek disc to great effect whilst breaking in and I must admit even though I don't think I have covered 500 Hrs+ yet, they are sounding at least 3 times better than when new. You just wait for at least 200 hrs before you will get an idea of what to expect. The Rev-2 will not give you the widest soundstage compared to SR Tesla Apex but will give you sweet highs, layered mids and the most awesome controlled bass you will hear. Alot of other top branded cables might also give you the very last ounce of detail ( leaning towards being harsh) whilst the VD Rev-2 will give you inner detail within instruments coupled with speed and CORRECT timing. Something strange happened the other day when I unpluged all my cables for a clean up, once cables are plugged back in, the sound took another leap forward in performance. Please don't ask how and why as I'm still scratching my head......
BTW, I be interested in hearing your views with the Emm Labs CDSA-Se as I'm thinking of buying the one box or the SE combo.
Cheers.

Flashunlock thanks for your answer!

Im now at about 40 hours of break in and the sound has already changed a lot. Its like you described it. One day it sounds good and the other day bad. The highs have softened a lot and the resolution is increasing all the time. The best thing that these cables brought to my system is much more energy than my previous cables. The sound is so much more realistic. Also the soundstage is great so far with all the organs having their dicrete position on it. I cant imagine how can anything become and better.

As far as concerning the CDSA it is really an amazing player. It is the only player I have heard that it doesnt appear to have all the digital nasties of other player like brittle and annoying highs etc.
It is definetely a must listen if you are planning on moving on that category. It is the first time that I am really so excited about a digital source.

Argyro,

Do buy the Isotek disc as recommended by Esoteric for break in. The use of this disc for 24 hours= 200-300 hrs...it is that good. You will find much more energy as more hours are put through the cables. Expect the BIG bang about 400 hours nd your jaw will drop to the ground...lol.

Regards.

What is going on with these cables is really weird.I'm about at 50 hours in the break in process.
Everything was going great, the cables kept improving day by day. The last two days there was something really wrong with the mid-upper frequencies to the point I thought something was wrong with the connections. I was really worried.
Today they sound great again.

Can someone explain why this is happening. How can a cable in the break in period one day sound bad and the other absolutely great?

Please help Im confused.

Regards,

Michael

50 hours on these cables ain't ..... !
You need to put 200-400+ hours on these cables.
Be patient, (I know its hard).
