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.

They are all put back together again - looks almost like new just the outer sleeve could not be pulled all the way back under the bezel about 1/2 " thats black taped up under the bezel but- still looks very presentable.

Don't know of any other folks using this technique, silver over copper, but I'm sure its an readily available commodity from wholesale suppliers. As you pointed out the AQ site is vague on if the K2 are solid silver leads or just have a "perfect" surface silver coating.

If you want I can shoot you some high-res pictures. The photos on my "systems" page does not allow for critical inspection. Shoot me an email form my website and I'll forward you the pictures.

Good Listening

Scott,
Very good idea!
I #1 vote that it's best cable thread on 'Gon

Who's next?
Silver coated copper is not uncommon. For instance DH Labs Q10 (my brother cables) use high quality copper silver coated:

On Audioquest website there is theory-education sub-section "Do No Harm". Audioquest explains that silver plated copper is used mostly at high frequency video or digital applications but they use it for subwoofer cables. It sounds like PSS is pure solid silver.
