How much were the AQ jobs?
I am assuming that they are the ones with the battery biasing deal?
Audioquest vs Mogami XLR Audio connector cables
I had recently purchased a McIntosh MC152 amp and I used my 6 year old Mogami XLR cables to connect it to my preamp. I decided since there was a 1/2 off on Audioquest Columbia cables to give them a test. I always thought Mogami cables were of good quality and was not sure what to expect with the Audioquest cables that were pure copper as well.
In short there was a more open sound...more clarity with the Audioquest cables in a very good way. Little details were heard better and I have to say I am happy with my choice. I know some say there are no differences, others claim they all sound different, but with my setup, there was an improvement. If I did not like them, I would have returned them. I still have 60 days to decide if I want to keep them but they are staying.

Enjoy the music @revelationsound ;-) |
After reading this review of the Audioquest Columbia cables I found to agree with him. REVIEW: AudioQuest Columbia Cable - readargos - Cable Asylum (audioasylum.com) The bass was a little light when I first got them and I found the high end to be a little bright and a tad harsh. I played my CD player for 2 days/night in a row and already the bass is tighter, and the top end has calmed down a bit. But the open detail sound that lacked with my Mogami cables are still there. |

@revelationsound Hi, What I've found is the pre-amp to power amp needs a "fat", big conductor, cable for best results. Something like a Cardas maybe? A more detailed cable going into the pre-amp compliments the setup. I always buy good quality used cable when I can. You can usually resell at the same price. |
