Audioquest Water interconnects


I’m considering upgrading my interconnect cables to Audioquest Water.  I’d be grateful for input. My system is Krell KAV 250 amp, Audio Research SP 9 preamp, Innuous Pulse streamer, Harbeth Compact 7 speakers, REL subwoofer and Audioquest CV 8 speaker cables.

I agree with @zlone re: Audioquest product mix being impossible to figure out with weird naming systems, no easy way to understand which tier is at what level. I've written them a couple times over the years to mention it but whoever is behind the product naming process seems to be hellbent on having as many products as possible with as many confusing names as possible. Monster Cable introduced a pretty simple concept in 1990 when they sold our chain product. It was pretty much "Good", "Better", "Best" or "Ultimate". Each group had natural price point differences and the product visually looked more and more expensive as you went up the ladder. 

The AQ Water interconnects were some of the first upgrades that I made in my system. I went from a pair of XLO interconnects that came with my used equipment to the AQ Waters. Significant upgrade, as well as every upgrade up the line. For your current system, you may want to compare the Earth and Water, then choose which works best for you. 

In my system AQ Water are great sounding cables and at a good price point, especially now that they’re discontinued and can be found at half price (or less) than their original price. Good low level detail, bass, no harshness or sibilance to my ears. Well made and good quality.
