The cabling industry gets it's fair share of punches and the longer I go in the industry the more I feel that we deserve it.
It has long been the case that cable skeptics have challenged the idea that cables can even make a difference, well... I am obviously not in that camp but I do respect it. I respect that there needs to be a valid application of science behind the claimed "improvements" of audio.
As you may know, or simply may not, Virtual Dynamics is breaking new ground. Doing something that has never been done before that we know of. Something that will change the idea of the cabling industry once, and for all.
Now who would have thought that a small cable company from Canada would be the one to promote this change? Well, quite honestly, I didn't think so myself, up until recently. Yes, we have known that there was an audible difference based on our cables since the time that we started to create them, but wires and conductors themselves are really only a very small part of the Virtual Dynamics story.
You see, we have always claimed that the wire itself would only make a very small difference, and for the most part the differences in wire could be attributed to conductivity, which simply means, the size of the wire, and also somewhat, configuration. The configuration part is where I really feel the challenge to the wire industry is legitimate and very skeptical.
Why? You might ask. Well, the stranding and creating of different pathways in multiple strand cables is truly a two edged sword. We have and industry that is completely convinced that you shouldn't run an 8 foot speaker cable to one side and a 6 foot to the other, a host of people who can hear the difference and an industry in complete and total agreement that it's a poor idea, in fact, don't we agree that it is downright just wrong? But, once we wrap it together and call it a single conductor, even though there is multiple strands underneath, When we call it a speaker cable and not speaker conductors, which is what most speaker wire is. Tons of cables all working together towards one goal, what do we call this achievement? Stranded cable, and we hope to soon prove that it is maybe the single worst thing you can do to an audio system to distort the sound.
Virtual Dynamics is going to do this, well no, fact is the work has already been done and anybody that understands the basic ideas behind electricity could easily figure it out for themselves, however, through testing done at the University of Toronto, a test that we are preforming as we speak we are finding profound evidence of the damage that cables can make or the blessings that they can bring to the truth of audio.
Now let's, just for a moment, establish that we are on the same page about what truth might be. What I am suggesting here is that we would all agree universally through the entire audio industry that putting your speakers in a cardboard shipping box stuffing it full of packing material, covering the speakers in a good solid plastic wrap, sealing it all up tight and then hooking your speakers up to play them in this condition would be stupid, correct?
All we are doing is establishing that anything that is obviously creating distortion or stopping the signal from being accurately reproduced, and we know for sure that it is because we have been able to identify through simple understandings of science some things are simply wrong. Well, the wire industry, as a whole, has been definitely unequivocally and absolutely wrong. So, why would it be in our interest to educate the consumers about the truth of audio cabling and how it is actually detrimental to an audio system if we are a cable manufacturer? Well, that is easy, we are not an audio cable manufacturer. Our devices have never had really much to do with any other product in the audio industry . Our approach is completely different. The things that we are trying to develop have nothing to do with the wire industry. We are a technology company, and we are out to prove that our technologies are legitimate, and even revolutionary.
To date, to the best of our knowledge, we do not have a competitor... We would proudly and cheerfully put our cables against anything in the market, especially when it came to real world testing. That is how we are different.
Pretty bold, I know, but you know, it is okay to be bold if you can put your money where your mouth is, and the tests that we will be providing over the next several years, but starting in the next few months, will help us establish for you the consumer, one important thing... Truth.
If you have not tried the technologies in Virtual Dynamics then it is time you did. The results from our preliminary tests show that we are, indeed, offering a unique audio product that is like nothing else in the audio marketplace. It is proving that our cables not only do not distort the sound, but they will actually increase the electrical specifications of a connected component. We can prove it , we have been proving it to our customers for years, and the tests that we are having done will verify it for the world.
Are you ready for some audio truth?
Keep your ears tuned,
Rick Schultz
