Audioquest Diamondbacks -- HELP --


Hey, all.

I just bought the subject IC's for my WHOLE system (4 pairs). I did this based on reviews I had read at Audioreview.com. I was originally interested in buying the Corals (I think) but went for these because several had noted a preference for these over the more expensive Corals or Vipers.

My system is now VERY bright. I HATE a bright sounding system, this is just too much. How long do I give them to burn in before I give up on them?

I was previously using Rubys (IMO best bang for the $ in cables) and still have a couple pairs that I could mix back into the system. Should I give the Diamondbacks more time? I've got about 40 hrs. on them.

If you think you can help but need more info about the system, please don't hesitate to ask for a longer explanation. Thanks, March

You do need to give them longer to burn in, but after 40 hours they should have tamed down a bit. I think STang500 thinks you have Diamond interconnects--which were Audioquest (truth) top of the line before the new line. The Diamondbacks are a more modest cable--I hate that they named the two so similar. I almost bought a pair of diamondbacks--thinking I was getting Diamonds.
