Speaker cables for paradigm studios

Clear Days Double Shotguns with Paul's jumpers will walk all over AQ type 4, not even in the same league, not even close. An older cable, the AQ Sterling is still a very respectable cable which I know well is closer to the Clear Days. Between the Sterling and Clear Days, I'd still pick Clear Days. The Clear Days offers everything the older Sterling has but is a little more relaxed, extended and open. If you can find a later set of Sterling that is still a very nice cable but guessing you can buy a new set of Clear Day Double Shotgun for less, so why bother. The Clear Day just disappears.

As far as your Paradigms go, I have taken my set of Double Shotguns to my local Paradigm dealer and they sound great on them which I feel speaks highly on how neutral the Clear Days are because I feel all Paradigms are a little hot on the upper frequencies compared to others. 

Clear Day Cables Double Shotgun cables will really open up your Paradigms and make them disappear. The post above are dead on; Paul makes it so simple to try his cables it's really a no brainier. If you do decide to audition Paul's cable, have him send a set of jumpers with as they're a great value as well. My Dad uses Paul's jumpers on his Sterlings. Paul really needs to push his jumpers as they're really good and I bet most Clear Day uses don't even know he offers them.

Paul's ICs are very good, both single and balanced. Very reasonably priced with very nice plugs, especially the Puresonic XLRs. The Puresonic RCAs are a little chunky so if your equipment has the jacks close together they will rub up against each other, but they work. I think the balanced cable is the gem of the two ICs.

I have a full set of Clear Day Cables and still highly recommend them as well but have moved over to WyWires. I doubt I'll get rid of my Clear Days because I like them so well and still believe they're hard to beat for the money. I have been switching out my Clear Days for WyWires Silver series and the change has been fairly noticeable but they do cost more. The WyWires are more open, much wider and deeper stage. I'm hearing things the Clear Days just couldn't flesh out which is surpring because the Clear Days are great cables. Alex of WyWires is just as easy to work with as Paul so look at WyWires as well if your budget allows.
