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!!

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.

@Zd542,

I'll take note in the future that using capital letters to emphasize something denotes an "emergency." Thanks for clearing that up for me.

@Timrhu,

Thanks for the tip, I'll look into that...

Thanks, but I can't take credit for clearing up the capital letters = emergency issue for you. I never made such a statement. Maybe it was in someone else's post.

You might check with hcmaudio.com, they seem to carry a lot of Audioquest product. It seems like they carry discontinued products too
