| XLR cable with warmth without losing resolution Acoustic Zen Matrix Reference. It outperformed similar-priced AudioQuest in my setup. | |
| Audioquest vs. Others I wouldn't mind trying stuff like the AQ Earth and Oak, but I wish they came with gold plugs (not silver). Might be too bright in my Rotel/B&W system. | |
| Buy Decision Audioquest vs. Audience I felt that the Rocket 44's had a good midrange but not the greatest bass and treble extension. Very clean and clear, but dark and rolled off. | |
| Audio Quest King Cobra capacitance I’m not sure about the King Cobra, but I read the Diamondback (the model right below the KC) has a capacitance of 189 per meter. If anyone has KC values, please share. | |
| Audioquest vs. Others AQ was certainly bright and tipped up in my system, almost to the point where other cables I tried sounded dull and boring in comparison. I suspect this brightness was due to the silver spades/silver RCA plugs in the AQ cables I used (all the othe... | |
| Audioquest vs. Others AQ is fast, detailed, and a bit forward in the upper mids which helps give it a more front-row perspective. It wasn't my cup of tea since I prefer a more laid back, harmonically rich type of sound. | |
| Audioquest SKY Interconnects If you didn't like the sound of the King Cobra, then you might not care for AQ's higher offerings. | |
| Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!! b_limo,How would you describe this cable in comparison with the Audioquest Rocket 44's you previously owned? | |
| AQ vs Van Den Hul No problem, Boxer. I’m glad you like your AQ, the products I tried were a little too forward in the upper ranges for my tastes. | |
| AQ vs Van Den Hul Boxer, I bought them from Music Direct. Looking back, I think the Rocket’s silver spades and possibly the silver drain wire used in the interconnects may have been the brightness culprit. I’ve avoided using anything with silver since.I changed to ... | |
| AQ vs Van Den Hul No experience with the VDH stuff but the AQ King Cobra I had was a bit more on the lean side of things. The Rocket 44 speaker cable was worse than the ICs -- diminishes a little of the warmth. It sounded a little brighter as well. | |
| Sony SS-NA2ES surprise! I've been eyeing these speakers for a while but unfortunately have not had a chance to hear them. Can anyone describe the sonic signature? Warm, bright, romantic, involving, etc? | |
| Speaker Cables for Sopra 2 & PremaLuna Dialogue The Acoustic Zen cables are wamer with good detail, they will sound closed in and lack the excitement of the Nordost. @audiotroy Troy, I recall you mentioned in the past you’ve had prior experience with Audioquest as well. Where does Audioquest f... | |
| can anyone help me........ Hifiman5, I've never cared for Rotel CD players. I bought a gently used RCD-1072 to pair with my Rotel integrated, which replaced an old Sony player I was using. The Sony/Rotel combo actually sounded quite decent. When I put the RCD-1072 into the ... | |
| Parasound vs Rotel Amps I had an RCD-1072 and RA-1062 paired with Audioquest cables. The result was an excruciatingly forward, thin sound with no soundstage depth at all. It was very fatiguing and tiresome to listen to. I replaced the AQ with Acoustic Zen cables which ma... |
