AudioQuest Pegasus vs Thunderbird Interconnects

kennymacc,

Sounds like AQ owes me a commission... Did you buy it new? If so, except a long burn in, at least 200 hours.

@Ozzy  Yes, LOL!!!  AQ needs to send you a little something.  Also, I did buy the Thunderbird XLR ICs new and I expect for there to be a lengthy burn in.  You know what they say about system matching.  I must say, the Pegasus sounds so excellent, and synergizes so well,  and sounds so right in my system, they will be very difficult to give up.  We'll see.  Happy listening.

at least 200 hrs? Can't they burn their cables in before they sell? Guess it's a bad idea for some obvious reason.

I looked it up and found out these cables are priced 2 - 5k/pair... wondering how much these guys earn (IF they're real end users not influencers).

classicrockfan,

You just joined AG in January and all your posts seem to be negative. Is that why you joined?

What type of equipment are you using that does not improve with better cabling?

Just a curiosity question regarding manufacturer cable burn in I never thought about before.

Easy to understand why the time and effort of burning in individual cables already built is unpractical from a physical and cost standpoint.

But I imagine cable is manufactured/purchased on large spools.  Can the entire spool of cable be burned in wholesale while still on the spool prior to being cut for individual use?
