Hi, Guys:I'm considering auditioning the VH Audio AirSine powercord and Symmetry interconnects. What should I expect? Are they worth a listen? Specifically, how does the AirSine compare to the Shunyata Taipan Alpha? I'm currently using the Taipan into my Shunyata Hydra-8. Finally, has anyone compared the Symmetry to the Luminous Audio Silver Reference? Thanks!
Follow Ups:
I compared an Airsine with the Taipan VX and Python Alpha Helixes on my Hydra 8 and found it better than both the Shunyata cords. More open, neutral (tonally realistic), and transparent. A caveat: all three cords went through a 15 to 20amp adaptor to connect to the Hydra. However I found the same sonic differences when I compared the Taipan VX with the Airsine on my CDP (Modwright Plat. Sig. Sony 999). I now happily use Airsines on both the Hydra and the CDP.Haven't heard the LAT or the Symmetry but I recently installed a pair of Cu Spectrum and have found they have the same open, transparent, and tonally realistic and balanced sound as the Airsine. Have ordered another pair of Spectrums and will post more after I've received them and had some time with both pairs in my system.
Hi classfolkphile,Thanks for your post. I'm convinced that the AirLok family of cables are keepers. The Spectrum Cu placed on both source and from pre-to-power is excellent. Please post more observations when you get your other pair of Spectrum Cu's...
Will do.
Can't wait for Chris's new speaker cables to complete the system :-).

You will love 'em. I read a report that they out-performed another audiophile's reference cables (while costing about 15% the price)...
Even if you don't like them (which I doubt), Chris offers a trial period. Not many people outside this forum knows of VH Audio which is why I call it a "sleeper." I have bought quite a bit from Chris, and I could not be happier.
Hello, now 3 weeks I own the Symmetry RCA. It is after 20 years of searching the best IC I have ever heard in my system. And I heard a lot of IC's last year, from Siltech, NBS etc, etc, and much higher prices than the Symmetry. But what Chris Venhaus created is really from another planet. For me the best IC period! I will write a more detailed review if I have more time!
yes, the symmetry cables are amazing - fast, open and naturally clean. if i ever get a headphone amp again i will most likely get a new pair from chris vh.happy airsine user here, tho i do have cords on my audition list...
I just ordered a Symmetry IC and Airsine PC, and I accidentally ordered the wrong male plug on the Airsine. Chris emailed me right away and asked if that was really what I wanted. He also confirmed that I wanted a 20-amp plug. Now THAT is great service. I wish more companies were that attentive. I can't wait to hear his cables. All the raves have me pumped!

There's certainly no shortage of information!
