Your say - AudioQuest DBS system

They need break in? The whole idea of DBS is to ELIMINATE the breakin period by keeping the cable dielectric "primed".

The simple solution to the OP's question is to compare the King Cobra and Jaguar. They are the exact same cable, except the Jaguar adds DBS...and doubles the price.

I gave Jaguar a try recently. Returned it. Not good in my system, too laid back, very thin sounding. As for DBS, I found the cable to sound best EVERY time after about 2 hours of playing time. Not the case with Acoustic Zen Matrix Ref II interconnects I got, which sound good any time I turn my stereo on. I think the letter D in front of BS is extra. Just my take. To me it didn't make any difference.

I owned top of the line AudioQuest cables before and after the DBS update, and I can say that in my system, for my taste, the DBS cables are worth the extra money.
The improvement that I noticed was mainly in hearing low level detail, which goes hand in hand with a "blacker background".
I think the low level detail was revealed by a slight reduction in the cable distortion.
I found them to be a significant improvement in my system, and I would not go back.

If you go to AudioAsylum (www.audioasylum.com) I did a review on teh Jaguars compared the King Cobras. I beleive that the DBS system gives the cable a blacker background. Also in my review I noted that the music seemed louder with the Jag compared to the KC. Some other have also noted the same experiece. I think its because of the blacker background. I have the Jags and the CV-6 BI-Wired with the DBS. I believe that the DBS makes an improvement. In my system comprimised of Jolida and B&W they make a great match and are the best cables I have had in my system to date.

Thank you guys for the in-put.
I have saved eonough and will be buying the Sky soon and I will experiment with the DBS to see if I can hear the difference.
Catch up with you guys later.
