Batteries in my Audioquest Colorado RCA interconnects


The box attached to the cables read: aq DBS 72v

It takes (6) 23ae 12v batteries in each box per cable. I judiciously replace batteries in remotes etc. yearly like checking the fire alarms. These batteries, which I have failed to register, have been in / attached to these cables for 8 years plus however long they were in prior to my purchase. AND they did not leak. AND when I push the little button on the box on the cable the little green light turns on. 

Would that be pure lucky and amazing?

Also, can anyone tell me if I am using them in the best way: They connect the output of the tube pre-amp to the input of the tube main amp. My thinking is that is where the most current / possible noise would exist. But looking for advice. As these are my most expensive (I think best quality) interconnects I own.

@cinqcepages - There's all kinds of harm to possibly finding out that you can't hear a difference!  It'll lead to some type of unhappiness.  Is your system not good enough to hear the difference in?  Is the DBS 72v a total scam and now you feel compelled to change/upgrade your interconnects?

By the way, I have some of the lower end AQ interconnects and am a happy customer.
