I have a pair of Diamonds and also the x2.My opinion is that these interconnects are a bit on the bright side,which is fine with me,i use a C.J. Premier pre and C.J. MOSFET power.I would not know how it would sound in balanced as I have it in RCA.But they are very good interconnects.Cheers.
Audioquest Diamond Sound
I need an old timer (like myself) to tell me how an Audioquest Diamond balanced interconnect sounds, versus an Audioquest Diamond x2, x3. My Stereophiles don't go back far enough.
Is an Audioquest Diamond (not x2, x3) 2 meter balanced a good enough cable to connect a Sonic Frontiers SFL-2 to a pair of Sonic Frontier Power 2 monoblocks? Will the resolution be there? I've inserted a Mark Levinson 36S into the system, which I'm having a hard time blending with the Sonic Frontiers. I've added Harmonic Technolog Pro-Silway II between the Levinson and SF preamp, which seems pretty nice. My speakers are B&W 801 with Nordost SPM cables.
