ServinginEcuador, I searched the forum and looked like Virtual Dynamics is better known for its power cord than interconnect. What kind of tonal signature does this IC have?

So far AZ WOW seems to be the one (thanks wasifazim!) Of course I'll probably try outlaw as well since it's cheap. Does anyone have more suggestions? Please let me know!

Anyone has used Kimber Hero? It's not silver and I've read review saying that it's not as bright as SS and PBJ. I'd like to rule it out before going for WOW. After all, WOW is quite a bit more expensive than Hero.

Gergor,

You got me there! I don't own one, just thought I would recommend them to you. I have a Reference IC on order, and will let you know about that if you want.

If you follow the thread on the VD power cords you will see how much others think about their ICs also. DarkAngel, bkelly, and many others have been buying and upgrading their ICs to more and more expensive units. Even after DA said he didn't want to change his over he ended up going to their top of the line Nite series! Says something for the company when these people have switched everything in their system over to VD products. ICs, power cables, digital cables, and speaker cables.

Just my 2 cents.

Yes, pleeeeease.

Opps, I missed it. I'll check it out now.... Thanks.

Anything from Monster, Cardas, or MIT will fit the bill. These cables are engineered to be warm and euphonic sounding.

You may want to consider a Cardas Neutral Reference. That will definitely give you the smooth warmth of copper with the least amount of murkiness. It'll max your budget, but if you look on Audiogon, you should be able to find used pairs right around $200.

Another one that you'd probably like is the Totem Acoustic Sinew. Problem being they're $280 new, and while used ones go for $150, they're rarer then a blue moon.

I use the Cardas Quadlink between the art dio and Earmax pro. I think they are great, definitely warmer than the outlaws while still preserving much of the details..

if you're looking to make you system warmer, the Cardas are fine interconnects for that purpose.

I should have seen it coming, I'm already looking at more and more expensive cables.

I read kelly's review on JPS Labs Superconductor FX, look interesting. kelly mentioned it sounded like Tara Labs Air3, which according to wasifazim, is very good. Would anyone who has used the JPS comment on this?

I like the Cardas Neutral Reference, Grado Signature, and MIT cables. They all are warm sounding cables to me.

FYI, I posted my review of the WOWs on this board and over at AA. I am sure if you do a seach here you will find it. It is an excellent cable. Highly reccomended.

I am currently reviewing the Mapleshade Ultra Ribbions and I am very, very impressed. For a $150 cable it is so very balenced and offers most of what you would get for much more cash . But you will have to wait till the review is posted (on Positive Feedback) for all the deatils....

good luck, jb

Thank! I found and read the review after wasifazim recommended it. In fact, I ordered it a couple days ago, should arrive next week.

I wish I'd heard about Mapleshade Ultra Ribbions earlier. Well.
