Don't read you'll be sorry

Peter, why you compare it to Viper? Viper uses foam Polyethylene and should measure infinity. Carbon loaded Polyethylene should measure within 1Mohm. This is second clue in addition to silver plating that shouldn't be there.

It is the only other Audioquest wire I have, did not check what insulation is supposed to be on it. But yes its a second clue.

As always, Good Listening

Of course, I am not sure that K2 is actually solid silver either. The description on Audioquest's website is a little vague, calling it perfect surface silver. Dont know if that means the cable has a perfect silver surface, or if the surface of the silver wire is perfect.

Still seems like a lot of work for little reward. I am going to order a pair and see what happens. they claim they have a full return policy and I will pay with paypal. PBN, do you know which particular supplier you got yours from?

Hi FI Store - but DH gate does no longer accept paypal, to me that would not matter anyway as they will be useless if you file a dispute for counterfeit merchandise, speaking form experience here.

If you just want to try them before you buy I can configure mine for Bi Wire and you can see if its the way you want to go - just send them back to me once you are done with them - I won't use them anyway and since its out in the open that they have been taken apart and may be fake its useless to try and pawn them of on anyone :-) not my bag anyway.


Good Listening

Peter

pbn,
I am ordering the biwire version just for my own satisfaction. Willing to take the $400 gamble. God knows Ive thrown away more than that over the years on sillier things. Might end up buying yours anyway later for my Home Theatre or den system. then I would have 10k cables on a 4k system. Ill let everyone know what I find.
