Dynamic
Design Platinum Series Cables
(various) This is a reference quality
cable that I consider one of the best
available for listening to and enjoying
music. The Platinum cables will compete
with the best that's available when it
comes to neutrality, high and low end
extension, and the ability to let you
hear everything that's on the
recording. This cable possesses uncanny
transient capabilities and dynamics as
well. It was a fixture in my system not
only for the way it allowed me to
evaluate equipment, but also it's
ability to allow performers to sound
more real and have an increased amount
of presence in my listening room. [Mike

A
very unusual hookup requirement is
involved so be prepared but a
delightfully full and open sound will
result. This digital link surprised
everyone that heard it by way of its
very musical yet no-character sound.
One of the better digital cables I've
encountered.

got me excited about their capabilities
with both music and video sound. They
are extended at the frequency extremes,
dynamic and able to resolve inner
detail and spatial information unlike I
have heard before. At the same time,
they are very neutral and worked
wonderfully with both solid state and
vacuum tube equipment. This is
definitely a reference quality cable

As usual, whenever
I get something that is both as
exciting and as challenging as this
cable, one has to try it out in other
rigs, however similar. And of course, I
offered Greg Petan and Key Kim to share
their thoughts on easily the best cable
to have graced my listening room. Greg
swears that "if the music through
the Master Series cable was water
running through a garden hose, then the
music through the Revelation is water
through a fire hose. While similar in
character as the Master, the Revelation
offered much more by way of ease,
dynamics, space and texture. I’m
awaiting the speaker wire and will
chime in once Clement completes his
review."
Key Kim
states: Virtual Dynamics’ guru Rick
Schults has taken the game to a new
level with these Revelation Series
cables. The cable incorporate a design
advancement aptly called “Speed of
Light” which uses strategically placed
magnets to facilitate the speedy flow
of current. The result is music that
sounds startlingly natural and
lifelike. [Greg Petan, Key Kim].
