Comparing AQ Diamonds to the new AQ interconnects

I just upgraded my interconnects from Diamond x3 to Amazon. The Amazons sound slightly clearer and somewhat more dynamic. The Diamond x3s are no slouches; they're quite fast, delicate, and brought a sense of immediacy to the sound. I like the Amazons. Of the nine pairs of interconnects I bought, only one was at full retail from a dealer, all the rest were at substantial discounts through Audiogon. Good luck!

python is better than diamondx3, and anaconda and amazon way better, the python is more revealing than any previous cable, viper is not in the same league way below even lapis which is good, diamond adds more bass weight, but like i said python more revealing. ive owned every cable they make. regards mike

I owned Lapis X3 and compared it to Python. Python was substantially cleaner, bigger soundstage and even better bass. It is a bit brighter, but not objectionably so. At least with tube equipment, I am very happy with the sound. The guy I bought it from (who has a bunch of Python & Anaconda in his $60,000 system) said it sounds better than his old Diamond X3.

Hey, thanks for the information. It's great to know that there are still alot of AQ fans out there like me despite a growing number of cable companies in recent years.

cheers,

Anyone compared the "old" line of SPEAKER cables to the new ones? I´m curious to know how my Argents (double run) stack up to the new AQ stuff (and other cables like Kimber, Tara, etc) Thanks,
