Audioquest WEL Signature

I held a head to head shootout of AQ WEL vs Odin I vs SR Galileo LE in my system a few years back. i was replacing Valhalla I at the time.  I use AQ WEL for all my interconnects but in my system the Galileo sounded more integrated and open. The Odin was also nice but a bit tipped up, although maybe faster and cleaner than the Galileo. The AQ just sounded slow to me, but this may have been because of a non ideal installation (the demo cable was biwired so I had to cludge both sets of connectors into my single wire 

I ended up purchasing the Galileo and have since then further gotten improvements from changes to the active bias

Net net you have to demo the cable in your setup against a few others to really tell

I had WEL in my system and thought the Everest/Montblanc was far better..as a matter of fact, I liked almost everything else better ..just shows to go ya how more important system matching is than price. ..

Thanks folkfreak & stringreen. 

Folkfreak, did you not want to try running 2 pairs?

Stringreen, yes, I too never presume the flagship model in a range is always best for a particular system. What are you using now?

@infection sorry if I was it clear. The demo cable was a shotgun biwire set (some $60k+ worth) and my speakers are single terminal so I had to connect together two sets of banana plugs into one set of terminals - not a pretty sight. Anyway just wanted to give the cable the benefit of the doubt if I had not gotten to hear the best of it, at least I know the one I tried was broken in 😏
