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.

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 |
@Ozzy Yes, LOL!!! AQ needs to send you a little something. Also, I did buy the Thunderbird XLR ICs new and I expect for there to be a lengthy burn in. You know what they say about system matching. I must say, the Pegasus sounds so excellent, and synergizes so well, and sounds so right in my system, they will be very difficult to give up. We'll see. Happy listening. |
