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.

classicrockfan,

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

I'm being 'truthful'. So can I get the data sheet from your company? Can you take care of cable burn in before you sell? Or you don't know how to "having music playing through the cables" ?

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

My amp/preamp;

a pure class A amplifier(s) that is capable of doubling the output power as the load impedance gets halved and a pure linear preamp that has a constant gain through its operating range and has two sets of balanced outputs. If you have that knowledge and skills you can build (or re-build) your own dream amplifier(s) and preamp. buy two identical old Krell or Levinson power amps and get their circuit diagrams somewhere. then you'll be  relying on computer modeling to re-design the amp to produce the correct values that you want. Of course you must use the finest components available to achieve this goal such as ultra precision resistors and capacitors from Japan. For the preamp you can this volume potentiometer from a company in Korea I know it's outrageously expensive but such an engineering marvel, a perfect linearity Vo=aVi+0, a is the gain factor constant and 0 is zero. A $1000 power cable with a magic lamp attached or a $1000 volume potentiometer with its data sheet.

Has anybody compared them to Fire? The newer PSS cables Firebird/Dragon are now very expensive. In the past the jump from PSC to PSS was big with PSS providing a lot more detail.
