Upgrade from AQ King Cobra to Columbia DBS


I'm currently connecting my Jolida Fusion Pre to my BEL 1001 MK5 using AQ King Cobra, 2M. Would it be worth while to upgrade to AQ columbia with DBS, buying used? Thanks in advance for opinions.

Seems there are 2 versions of the columbia. 48 and 72 DBS. Any comments regarding the amount of 'charge' to the shield?
Thanks Bo.

Zd542, Mr Brown passed away in 2009. There is a company that services the BEL 1001, Audio Summa. My Mk5 was manufactured in 2007. Bought from a dealer used. Love this amp, probably the best piece in my rack. I have enjoyed your posts elsewhere. Thanks
Want to thank Bo and Zd as I bought my first pair of Columbia. Looking for another.
Bought my second pair of Columbia. Run .5 m pair between DAC and Pre, and 1M pair from Pre to Amp. Thanks Bo and Zd.
Samac, I just bought the 1M pair and have not yet received them. I will get back to you once I have listened to them. I went for the Columbia for they were the 1st in the DBS line, just above the KCs. At used prices, my cable outlay between pre and amp represents ~10% of my cost of both active components. Right or wrong, this is what I shoot for. I am not familiar with the Yukon.
Received and placed the Columbia cables into my system. I did not care to A-B then against the KCs, simply replaced and sold them. The result seems to be better imaging within soundstage and more 'air' around upper midrange/treble notes. I am happy. This represents the last piece to be exchanged in my system which took 3+ years to put together. Thanks all!
