AQ Sub-3 sub cable owners experience(current and previous owners)

Hi all,
My dealer is selling a used AQ Sub-3 subwoofer cable and it has a 36v dbs pack attached to it. This is just to get some information and not a debate on sub cables. I'm only looking for those who have owned or still own this subwoofer cable and can tell me their experiences. I would like to know what kind of sound can one expect from this cable when hooked up to say an SVS SB13 Ultra sub? Is this cable solid over long runs( 25 feet or more)? Which end does the dbs pack plug in(preamp end or sub end)? Would this be a good choice as opposed to the new lineup of AQ subwoofer cables?  Thanks all in advance.

I own AQ Sub-3 cable, 24 ft Rca + DBS
It is a very good cable and optimized for low level signals. No problems with the length. DBS plug to Preamp out.
It is a good choice, it was the premium sub cable until AQ changed the line.

Hi syntax..thanks for the information. Which DBS pack you have on your sub cable? Does AQ sell individual upgrade packs do you know say if I wanted to upgrade the dbs kit? Is it worth it for low level signals? What sonic characteristics do you notice about this cable in your sound system?

I owned it and sold many. It is fine subwoofer cable. But these days Audioquest has better ones. But they are more expensive. iI depends about the money you want to spent.
