So Virtual Dynamics pulled out of sponsorship?
Gee, they disappeared just when they were going to put out the big study proving all the skeptics wrong.
I'd still like to see the final version of the study.

Will all this peaple saying all this negative thing .. was the best thing to do.
I have somes of their cables and it's the best I heard. The only complain is the rigidity ... it's difficult to install and do a clean installation.

This was my major complaint. VERY difficult to get behind my amps and player without lifting my Melos right off the table  I was using the Master series IC's. Never used one of their power cords.

They should use softer plastic tubing. The better quality stuff is more flexible but still does not kink. It looks like they used the really cheap stuff.

Well, the more stuff you put on it, the stiffer it will get, especially if you add those nylon netting on the outside. Making big cable that is soft and flexible is actually harder than it would seem to most people...

Elco. They do it, and they are VERY light and flexible. My bet is that using a garden hose as an encasing and adding saltpetre or whatever it is in there is the culprit

Saltpetre would *definitely* not make it stiffer!

Amazing that they promised this test/report that was going to prove their claims for once and for all . . . and now not only has the test/report gone missing in action but they disappear as well?
No, that doesn't look shady at all!

Well, that's why I said harder.  Especially hard when you use thick single strand wire like they do. I've recently been testing cable that contains 2mm * 2 solid core wire it in, and it gets rather stiff compared to some of the cables that I've tried before.

Maybe if they just didn't use plastic tubing to artificially bulk up their cable and try to make it look more expensive than it is...
