And you know this.... how?
Audioquest cables best tweak
We all know that cables have a huge propensity to become RF antennas depending on their geometry , and many companies have invested tons on developing designs that help shield against of filter out this noise....my favorite, Kimber Kable, and many others such as Transparent or MIT.
Audioquest, it seems like, went the other way and created the DBS system, a system that does act like an antenna and that does introduce noise in the cable, as measured by some engineer... preposterous!
The best tweak of all with such audioquest cables, is to take the DBS off the cable! Less noise, higher HiFi.

Without DBS, I hear spurious cell phone interference and people, or ghosts talking. With DBS, I hear no such interference and just pure music. In all seriousness, if noise was such an egregious issue or problem by any cable manufacturer, it would be publicized across the mainstream audio media news outlets like Wendy’s, or Popeyes, or Chik-Filet announcing a new super crunchy chicken sandwich. I have to get back to more late breaking audio news and sip more coffee. |
tomic601, " the Vandy amps ( M5 and M7 ) have 128v DBS...." That may be so but I tried 144vdc and it washed out the sound on all my DBS cables. The best tweak is to remove the battery packs from the cables. I place them on Walker Audio resonance control discs which solidifies the soundstage. I imagine the internal power supply on the Vandy amps would have a very similar effect. |
Dear tomic601 If you are running AQ cables on your Treos, I’d be curious which ones. True bi-wire? I mentioned to Richard V himself (on the phone) that an AQ sales guy told me that AQ single cables with internal biwire config could be about as good as two separate cable runs (true biwire) to each speaker. He laughed loudly and then said BS, and to use true biwire. Thx |
