old Audioquest cables review


I am offered a couple of old Audioquest interconnect at very cheap

prices. Could someone comment on the performance of the following cables?

1. Midnight speaker cable

2. Midnight + speaker cable

3. Midnight 3

4. Indigo blue

5. Indigo

What's the difference between no. 1, 2, and 3? Their name's so similar!

I am after a pair of neutral, natural sounding speaker cables without emphasizing on any particular sound range.

My gears:

Kenwood CDP
Transcendent Sound Grounded Grid valve Preamp
Aragon 4004 MKII power amp
KEF C30 speakers

Thanks
Chris

I've been running an 8' pair of Midnight bi-wires for 15.5 years. Have nothing to compare them to. I'm sure there's better, but I've got my money out of them. They cost $470 in 1998.

There are a four of the eight bi-wire ends have cracked insulation where they possibly were bent sharply at one time. I doubt the main cable jacket wires have that problem since it doesn't flex as easily.

I wouldn't worry about counterfeit Midnights. I'm pretty sure their manufacturing was well over before that started.

Relax, have a Sprecher Commando and listen to some Violent Femmes...
