AudioQuest Pegasus vs Thunderbird Interconnects
Hello all,
Has anyone had the chance to listen? I know Pegasus is brand new, but Thunderbird has been around. I am questioning whether the cost/performance is worth it to upgrade to Thunderbird. Not many reviews out there.
@bossound Initially, my plan was to bring in both a pair of Audioquest Pegasus and Fire interconnects for auditioning and comparison. Whichever sounded best would remain. First up, was the Pegasus XLR interconnects. As the Pegasus began to burn-in more and more, they began to open up more and more. And after some further burn-in time, the Pegasus locked-in and began to synergize with my system so beautifully, I knew they weren't going anywhere. Happy listening. |

Never tried the AQ Pegasus, however, there is a reason that the Thunderbirds are twice as much as the Pegasus. Currently, I own the AQ Thunderbirds. They took quite a while to fully burn in, but today, I am really amazed at how well the soundstage is lit. At times when there is a solo guitar or a sax etc. it seems like it jumps out at you. Very impressive. Check out my review. ozzy |
@ozzy The AQ Pegasus XLR are truly wonderful sounding interconnects in my system that I could very happily live with for the duration. But, just the same, I’ve just ordered a pair of AQ Thunderbird XLR, which should be, I hope, my end-game interconnects. It was your comment that inspired me pull the trigger on the AQ Thunderbird interconnects. Thank you. Happy listening |
