| Audioquest Castle Rock vs Pikes Peak I guess it is more on updated cosmetic and marketing rather than fundamental changes on inside wires. Whatever it is, the difference in quality is very subtle and in term of price that difference is huge! Original retail price on AQ Gibraltar and ... | |
| Audioquest Castle Rock vs Pikes Peak AQ Castle rock is a replacement (just by name!) of AQ Gibraltar which is in sale at half price at MusicDirect! At your budget of $1300, AQ Volcano ~$1100 (discontinued, now named AQ Oak) used one, would be a perfect choice. The only thing is to ma... | |
