Is Audioquest clean and fast?

Thinking of getting some good quality Audioquest King Cobra cables to replace my Harmonic Tech ICs. The HT sound is very pleasing but I'm in the mood for something a bit more clearer and faster with good dynamics. I guess something a little more punchier!

If you have experience with AQ, please describe the sonic characteristics you've experienced with their cabling.

I use King Cobras from my phono pre to the preamp, and they seem to get the electrons there in fine shape producing what appears to be a clear and balanced tone. I also have Diamondback XLRs here and there, Type 8 speaker cables, etc., and I think AQ cables can be an absolute bargain especially if bought used (my solid silver VDM5 sp/dif cable was one of those scores).

Note: "Timing and drive" used as any sort of audio descriptive terms are meaningless audio hooey. Better blacks? The blacks I get from my KCs are like a dead star sucking the light from everywhere...sort of like Bo1972's comments.
