discontinued AQ opal. will tame the zippy AQ crystal,and seems to beef-up the bottom. ic's out there remind me of a firesign theatre line...fight piles of files with smiles. so much product, so little money. opal/crystal combo works well for me, and won't break the bank.
Need interconnect advice
Good day all. I need to replace our interconnects, and need some feedback from you on your experience. I am looking for cables that will smooth out out a slightly grainy digital source (mid-level DVD), but am also looking for good detail and quiet backgrounds. The amp is an Antique Sound 2x15 integrated (using Svetlana KT-88's), the speakers are Mordaunt Short 2-way monitors, and speaker cables are Audioquest Crystal. I would like to spend no more than $125 for the pair (.5 meter), and the main quality I'm looking for is smoothness, followed by "blackness" and then bass. Please share your experience and thanks for your time!
