Audioqest Wild Wood or Tara Lab Omega Gold?

That is the question.
Hou do you define the difference betwween these two ""wonderful Cables"?
Using 825 from JRDG, Aeris, Criterion and Revel U2 Salon2
or Magico Mini 2 and Playback Design from Andreas Koch
What is the best choice? We are speaking serious money and even more serious sound. Opinions and experiences are welcome.
Many thanks for clarifying.

Listen it took me 3 weeks to burn in the Wel Signature and Redwood. And we are talking about 24 hours current through the cables.

These things/periods I hate most in audio.

I was like a rollercoaster in diversity in sound.

So be aware!!!!

Neither, I would check out Jorma Origo or Jorma Prime (depending on budget). The Cable Co have a returns policy to try out many of their cables also. One word to describe Jorma cables "natural".

24 hours a day for 3 weeks before you can judge the AQ cables.

Ditto on at least 350 hours of burn-in for AQ cables,...I've owned quite few (Cheetah, SKY, Raven, Volcano and Mont Blanc) and they really 'come out' after 350 hours....when I tried WEL Signature AES and XLR, the requirement was the same.

The Wel Signature xlr took over 21 days. It was the most irritaing burn in period I ever auditioned. Silver takes longer than copper.

I have spoken with AQ about this issue. I said; cables like Well Signature and Wild need to be burned in when you buy them. They will not do it, they said; this is a job for the seller.
