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.

@jeffreyw were you able to upgrade to the Thunderbird?

im also considering the Thunderbird RCA.

I ended up purchasing the TBirds XLR. I would consider them neutral with a similar sound characteristic of the Audience Front Rows. I wish I had auditioned the Cardas Clear Beyond also, but didn't have the chance. 

Thanks, I compared the Thunderbird  XLR and RCA in my system. Both are fantastic. I honestly couldn’t tell them apart so decided to go with RCA to save some $$$. 

For what it is worth, I recently upgraded to Pegasus XLR from Earth.  Sweeter highs, clear and natural mid range vocals, fuller bass.

I just replaced my Audioquest Earth, 1.5 meter, XLR, interconnects, with a 1 meter, XLR, pair of Pegasus, and I'm here to tell you, the improvement that I heard with the Pegasus over the Earth was a revelation in my system.  The Pegasus will make you question whether you ever would need to spend more or replace them with something else.  I know I'm not for the foreseeable future.  The Pegasus are big-time cables and are also end-game interconnect cable for me.
