Mixing rca interconnect cables

Hi everybody,

I will be upgrading my interconnects in the near future. I want to buy three Audioquest Water interconnects for the front left, centre and front right speakers. I want to know if I buy say Audioquest Yukon interconnects for the surrounds would I be compromising the sound at all by using different lines of interconnects? Water has DBS and Yukon does not. My dealer says that it wont make a difference cause they are the surround speakers. Does anyone have this type of setup where you use higher quality interconnects for the fronts and a lesser quality for the surrounds but being the same brand of cable? Thanks in advance all. Appreciate the feedback.

I use lesser quality, same brand, for my surround channels...no issues in 12 years of this...maybe if I had better surround speakers and had them set up perfectly it would matter...

Hi jl35..my surrounds are a high quality bookshelf speaker on stands. I have them bi-wired as well to match the front speakers. I have AQ-King Cobra interconnects all around right now running a 5.2 system but I do want to upgrade to AQ Water interconnects as stated earlier and do the Yukons for my 2 surround channels and when I get the chance also use them for my 2 back surround channels.

pweg- thanks for your comment. I’m running both 5 and 2 channel amps. I ugraded the power cords on all my power amps, pre/pro, blu ray player, Apple tv, and computer not long ago.

jayctoy-  I’m not sure what you mean there. Can you clarify please and thanks.

I'll see if he will allow me to borrow a couple to take home and try out. I was unsuccessful last time. He didnt really respond to it when I asked via email. Thank jl35
