Audioquest Water XLR Interconnects

Hi all -
Just installed a pair of Audioquest Water XLR Interconnects between my preamp and my monoblocks.

They are replacing a pair of Cardas Quadlink 5-c XLR Interconnects.

I'd like to hear what difference I should be experiencing, then I will tell you what I am finding.

Please let's keep this focused on the Audioquest Water XLR Interconnects

Thanks in advance....

Speackers: B&W 802 D (First of the Diamonds)
Amps: Classe Cam-200
Preamp: Bryston BP-26
CD Player: Mark Levinson 5100

HI Pony - it's true that Quadlink had a LOT of warm fuzzy bass, however, it was NOT pitch accurate and was out of proportion to the rest of the frequency range as the upper end was also a bit rolled off.  Now the AQ dos system is a good thing, BUT - it does NOT break in the cables.  All it does is to burnish the dialectic to keep it from absorbing and releasing sound randomly.  Your cables will need to run for around 40 hours for a 1M pair to sound their best.  Give 'em a little time - it will be worth it!
