New speaker cables


Wow! Whoever said cables don't matter can marinate me in snake oil. I finally ponied up, and to my AARP ears have reached a higher rung towards nirvana. I'm elated to say this musical journey continues....and now back to Sinatra/Basie live at the Sands.

Congrats on your journey.  I experimented on cables with a pessimistic bias and boy was I surprised and both happy and sad.

Happy because it had an impact.

Sad because I didn't really budget for cables - the good news I was able to audition upgrad over the course of the pandemic since I wasn't socializing with others!

It's cool when you add something new to the chain and it's an improvement, now you can listen to your vinyl collection all over again.

Yes. Over my time my audio library has been repeatedly refreshed and revealed more and more upon each upgrade. The most amazing was stuff I listened to when really young… never knew the words, then the instruments separated and became identifiable and astonishingly strong and clear… in particular The Beatles and Crosby, Nash, and Young. Although the list is huge.

I found that interconnects affected SQ more than speaker cables. Once I was happy with my SC's, I started rolling ICs. It became an addiction, buying and reselling, because with each purchase there was an improvement in SQ.

I've had a pair or two of AQ Type 4 in one system or another for past 20 years...
