The best AQ tweak one can do is up the DBS to 100vdc and separate the batteries from the cables placing them on a solid platform. I’ve tried upping the DBS above 100vdc but there are diminished returns and 100vdc is the sweet spot.
Audioquest cables best tweak
We all know that cables have a huge propensity to become RF antennas depending on their geometry , and many companies have invested tons on developing designs that help shield against of filter out this noise....my favorite, Kimber Kable, and many others such as Transparent or MIT.
Audioquest, it seems like, went the other way and created the DBS system, a system that does act like an antenna and that does introduce noise in the cable, as measured by some engineer... preposterous!
The best tweak of all with such audioquest cables, is to take the DBS off the cable! Less noise, higher HiFi.

tomic601, " the Vandy amps ( M5 and M7 ) have 128v DBS...." That may be so but I tried 144vdc and it washed out the sound on all my DBS cables. The best tweak is to remove the battery packs from the cables. I place them on Walker Audio resonance control discs which solidifies the soundstage. I imagine the internal power supply on the Vandy amps would have a very similar effect. |
Dear tomic601 If you are running AQ cables on your Treos, I’d be curious which ones. True bi-wire? I mentioned to Richard V himself (on the phone) that an AQ sales guy told me that AQ single cables with internal biwire config could be about as good as two separate cable runs (true biwire) to each speaker. He laughed loudly and then said BS, and to use true biwire. Thx |
