Aduioquest Sky & Cheetah

I've owned both for long periods of time, and compared both.
I ended up selling all my Cheetah several years ago for the Sky.
Cheetah is quite good, but if you want the best, you want Sky.
Sky has more low level detail and less distortion. Highs are cleaner and they sound more like "no wire" when compared directly to Cheetah. Cheetah provides most of the sound of Sky, and costs a LOT less. I believe the conductor sizes are slightly different, and the insulated tubes holding the conductors are larger (so less insulation actually touches the silver wire). Flexibility is better with Cheetah.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for you reply.

I owned Cheetah before,and would like to try top model of Audioquest.
Sky's price is a double of Cheetah.It's hard for me to take this risk.

Try homegrown audio sc-8 or DNA. Free 30 day trial and generous upgrade policy. Both are less expensive than the Audioquest product. While I can not speak to the sky both of the aformentioned homegeown products where superior to my Anacondas by a large margin.

I am not affiliated with homegrown audio in anyway. Just a satisfied customer.

I owned the Anacondas as well, for a good length of time (1 year+) The Cheetah dumps the copper Anaconda (and at a cheaper msrp I believe). There was no comparison in my system...

I agree that the double price point is hard to swallow. You perhaps would be better served with the money spent towards a different upgrade. I only went with Sky because the rest of my system was as far as I could take it at the time.

Best,

Will
