Audioquest Cables for Calming treble


Looking to upgrade my gr8 for my B&W sig. 805s and htm 1. I'm looking at the new cv6 with dbs, caldera, argent. Any opinions on which would sound best? I realize the argent has some silver and copper which seem like the best combo, but I would think the cv6 would be tough to compare?

Thanks

There are many cable brands that give you more for your money than Audioquest. Try Audience AU24 or Acoustic Zen Matrix Ref. II. These are both fundamentally neutral cables with a slight treble roll-off. Cardas Golden Reference is another one you can try, but it costs more. You can listen to many different cables by using the Cable Co's rental program. Rent applies toward purchase. I have no affiliation with them, just a satisfied customer.
OK Reb1208, I, for one, would like to hear a more technical explanation of why various cables sound the way they do. Could you give a description of the sound of various metals/dielectrics/terminations that you are familiar with? Also, what about geometry and shielding effects?
