Audioquest Sky Interconnects


Anyone have an opinion on these interconnects? I searched and can't find much commentary. Comparisons to Ridge Street, Audience, Synergisitc et al would be very helpful.

i agree with the kid...it is system synergy and your taste. my taste runs towards "plush" - smooth and accurate

i have had good luck with the following:

straightwire crescendo ic's(current)- neutral / big & bold / does everthing right.
xlo signature - neutral ( can sound lean in some systems)
discovery plus 4 & essence - slightly "silky" cable
Wireworld Eclipse V - similar to straightwire but slightly differnt mid presentation.
nordost valkyrja. - nice but wayyyyyyy overpriced. the crescendo does somethings better and 1/3 the price. the nordost is a little leaner.

try to auditon as many cables as you can and different combinations. you might be surprised on what works.

hope that helps,

Mike
i have to agree with the kid even though i run ss amps ( i am a creature of convience. a tube pre-amp is a hassle enough)

tube amps have a "presence' that ss amps cant touch ( even the halcro mono's - the bats tube mono's were 1/2 the price and better sounding imo)

getting back to the original post...

silver interconnects / speaker cables are definelty very, very system and taste dependant ( your mileage may vary).

you really need to try them in your system or pu a used pair at a fair price to audition( if they dont work out, you can sell them and break even)

my 2 cents...
