I've had AudioQuest Diamonds, and strongly advise you to TRY Stealth interconnects, to be seen at www.interlinkhouse.com.It's no risk since they have a 30-day money-back guarantee. Calling them (Cross-wrapped Copper, in my case) an A, AudioQuest Diamond is B-, at best. The wire AudioQuest uses is simply too thick. Did you look at Malcolm Omar Hawksford's article reprinted in Stereophile? A lot of good science, along with incomprehensible (to most of us) math and physics, and one lesson is clear: skin effect is big and anything but very thin wire is poor.
