NEED AUDIOQUEST TYPE 8 OR CV-8, PLEASE HELP.


Hey guys, I'm new to the site, and in a bit of a tough situation; I've got a pair of speakers that I am wanting to bi-amp, and I've got an existing 10 ft pair of Audioquest type 8s that I don't want to go to waste. I can't afford to buy two sets of something new right now, but Audioquest has apparently discontinued these cables, and I cannot find a set ANYWHERE. I've checked every online retailer, amazon, ebay, etc, and the only thing I found was a dealer that had a set of cv-8s in the wrong length (8 ft, and I need 10 ft). If anyone knows where I can find a set, I'd be very appreciative. Thanks!!

I don't know why this is such an emergency. The effects you get from biwiring are usually not big (Vandersteen is the only exception.). Type 8 is a very good sounding cable. I would use it until you are in a better position to upgrade.
If you are willing to pay for new cables, try Audio Advisor. They seem to have inventory:

Or have I misunderstood your question?
Never claimed this was an emergency, so I'm not sure what to make of that. Either way, I think you might have misunderstood what I was asking. The problem I have is that I want to bi-amp my speakers, and I have a perfectly good pair of [discontinued] cables that I don't want to go to waste (you can't just buy a different type of cable as you are not supposed to mix and match cables of different construction and geometry).

I've already checked with Audio Advisor, and they don't have any factory terminated cables, they only have leftover bulk cable that they terminate in-house with pretty cheap looking stuff. What I'm looking for is another set of full range (not bi-wire) type 8s in a 10 ft run with banana terminations. If anyone has a used set they are considering parting with, I'll pay a very fair price. Thanks...

You got me. I don't see the word emergency ANYWHERE in your post. Sorry for the error.
You should include the Audioquest Slate, especially the original version, in your search. I have reterminated the Type 8 as well as the Slate and they seemed nearly identical. At one point I used the Slate for one speaker and Type 8 for the other. The setup worked fine for me.
As for finding what you need, ebay is one place, or you could place a "want To Buy" ad which will run for a month.
