Has anyone compared old to new Audioquest Cables???


I would like some input from anyone with direct experience who has compared the older higher end Audioquest speaker cables that are now used and selling at an obvious reduced price from when they were new to the mid-level newer Audioquest cables like the Rocket 88 Series, just before the newer cables get really pricey.  I would be looking for bi-wire cables for my Vandersteen model 5A speakers.

Thanks in advance.

@tvad meaning buy and try some used models?  What model name of AQ cables would you recommend that I search for?

Both of you jumped from Rocket Series to WT right over the Robin Hood series - any input on why the jump?  What and were did you hear the improvements over the Rocket Series with the WT series.

Thanks.
What models of the older top of the line cables are the model names?  I don't really know them.

Two more questions:

Between the Robin Hood and the WT models.  I understand the wire thickness but how much better are they in reality?

Last with my Vandersteen Model 5A speakers will the bi-wire be necessary (I see that one run is for the bass specifically designed for bi-wire) but how much would I lose using a single run with jumpers?

Thanks again.


@ieales - I understand your posted position.  Changes may be system dependent.  My equipment is custom manufacturer by my company so I know that no body here hears what I hear.  My question was asking based upon ones own experience what did they hear.  Already mentioned above is for me to try them as buying at the used prices would allow me if I decided that they did not improve my sound could be sold for little to no loss.

Thanks for your input.
