I use original Cobalt in two different systems(Dynaco amp to Vandersteen 2Ci,conrad-johnson amps to Magneplanar MG3a)and think they sound just fine.I've had them for 10 years now,have never had any problems nor a desire to upgrade. I saw the ad you're considering and thought the price was great.Audioquest is a no-bullshit company,and their products have always reflected this philosophy(I use their interconnects as well).I wouldn't hesitate. Good luck. Bob
