Audioquest vs. Others


   I realize that this post will probably open a landslide of responses but my question is focused on the comparison of Audioquest vs other manufacturers. This is not aimed to address power cables or speaker wire but only interconnect cables. Like Audioquest, many brands offer cables in a range of prices....low, medium, high, and super high. My interest is not to compare a lower price/quality cable to one that is far superior but to ask if comparisons have been done within equal price ranges of different brands.

   Yes, some systems are capable of distinguishing minute changes in a cable makeup. Some manufacturers even offer a free trial and return policy. I know that. But, in a moderately priced system, are there any opinions that would deter one from using the Audioquest brand vs another brand? Remember....staying in a comparable price range.

Hi @stevenday 

Some nice Ayre gear you have, although I don’t understand why you have not upgraded to QX-5 Twenty from your Codex 😂🤭. I have had both, and they are not even close. 

Also, I agree that Synergistic Research is great, especially with Ayre. IMO though, there is a significant jump in SQ if you ever upgrade your speaker cables to Euphoria (Level 3 Atmosphere X). Try, and you will thank me later. Been there, done that
No reason to be sorry at all. This is an outstanding and very informative post. Thank you for sharing. You helped me tremendously, and I hope you helped a few others as well
