Don't read you'll be sorry


Just got my new Audioquest K 2 speaker cables from DH GATE yep I said it. I bought my previous Audioquest cables from my former employer [Audio Buys] Summer job pre wiring houses. Still great friends. Anyway paid their cost for a brand spanking new pair of "Bed Rock" cables I was so proud. So what I know are quote un quote real Audioquest cables just got blown away by a $380.00 total cost [shipped door to door in 6 days] pair of Audioquest k2's from DH Gate.

Yes strange indeed - I've posted another picture with a lot more detail as well as description

I hooked up the wire in my system last night and listened for a few hours, its OK but slightly "lighter" sounding than my Kimber 16TC which projects more "weight"

Anyway a fun little experiment with a expected outcome - you get what you pay for :-)

As always - Good listening

Thanks

I suspect that once some people see $8500 cable for $380 they cannot resist and the fact that it is made in China makes whole thing believable. Of course there is also placebo effect - if you believe that it is K2 it will sound like one.
Here is the description that was supposed to be at the picture posted on my system page the Audiogon website cuts at a quotation mark ?

Here are some more pictures of the wire - it's definitely silver plated copper and it appears to have the right geometry and size of conductors a pair of 17 Gauge and a pair of 20 gauge labeled Treble on one side of the wire and a pair of 16 gauge and a pair of 19 gauge conductors on the other side labeled Bass - the conductors measure right sized with a caliper. On each side there are a small gauge unused white wire as well as a naked ground wire that's connected to the black lead on each end. Each side have a foil shield and the 3 filler leads between the conductor leads appears to be cotton or similar thread.

If you read audio quests description, they don't clearly say the k2 wire is solid silver. They talk about a smooth surface when they discuss silver, so maybe it is only supposed to be silver coated.

How did you determine which plugs went into which inputs on the speaker end of the biwire cables. Supposedly, if they are reversed, where the high frequency ends went into the woofer inputs, you would get a lighter bass and alternatively, if the bass ends went into the treble inputs you would experience a less articulate treble. Is there some sort of marking on the wire that tells you which is which?
