Audioquest Diamond interconnects

I've gone thru several IC iterations starting with the Copperheads, Diamondbacks, King Cobras, and then into their dbs line with the Columbias.

The Copperheads and Diamondbacks were my first NFW experience with the sonic offerings of cables. Good values.

In my rig, however, the King Cobras sounded sloppy, and the Columbias were too bright.

I found the Goldilock's "just right" set with an older set of Jaguars - amazing balance and super clean mid-bass.

Everything matters - so your sweet spot may be a different set to get the right system synergy.

Just stirring the pot....

AQ Diamond 2x XLRs were my last commercial cable before DIY copper foils. The AQs stay mostly in a drawer. They're too laid back and uninvolving for most applications.

I've owned Ruby, Lapis in various iterations, Diamond, and for the past many years, Niagara and Sky. Diamond was very transparent and fast, more open sounding than Lapis, and with a wider frequency response range, but I did notice that electronic sheen or edge sometimes. If proof is in the pudding, I sold off my several pairs over time but ended up keeping a pair of late-edition Lapis, which had a more fleshed out and honest midrange I thought. I keep the Lapis as a tester backup and have had Sky and Niagara in my system for many years now (and Dragon for the speakers).
