In Reply to: VH Audio Airsine or Flavor 4 - advise needed posted by denon0123@netzero.com on March 18, 2007 at 17:30:00:
I would look else where and for cheaper solutions.I have had no luck with flavor 2, 3, or 4 cables. They do change the sound, alot, but not for the better.
Follow Ups:
I have used the VH cables in many configurations. I have used them with out connectors and with several types of connectors.I get dramatic results with them. Sometimes no highs other times no lows.
I do not get this sort of crazy behavor with other cables.
So I guess you might get lucky and they would work with your system.
I am currently using some 12 awg silver coated copper stranded teflon coated wire. They work great on all of my componets.
Did you allow for at least 150 hours of burn-in before evaluating the Vh cords?
After reviewing some of ripples' earlier posts on his experiences with the cables, it seems he liked them, then didn't like them, and his system has undergone alot of changes. It also appears they were DIY'ed and not finished cables, with some hard-wiring taking place. I cannot be certain the instructions were followed to the letter, and have no control over the possible variables of a DIY project (soldering, using the exact rubber hose I use, terminating the connectors to the hose (not the wire), proper strain relief (if hard wiring)... I don't doubt his evaluations are/were sincere, and no cable is for everybody , but I think the full context of his experience should be disclosed, given the voracity of his recent negative post(s)...
Interesting that he still has the VH cords listed in his main system.
look elswhere in your system maybe too, if CV's stuff ain't musical i don't what is.
I've used both Chris' designs and his actual materials to great satisfaction in my system. YMMV
My system sounds GREAT!
