Audioquest Dialectric-Bias System

Zargon, what about your DBS Volcano ? muted or still in good shape ? Let us know...
After some weeks using them, would you say this one worth its price ?
(i'm currently hesitating to update my Slate to Mont Blanc or Volcano). Thanks for any input :)

My Volcano is great and I am quite pleased. Reb1208 is the one who had the Monte Blanc for audition that had the highs MIA after day 9. Maybe he can give us an update?

They never did open up on my system in the way that stranded designs have done for me. I passed them back to my friend that has quads. He also is not thrilled with their soundstage and hf presentation. Desribes them as recessed. Much of this is very dependent on your speaker and amplifier. I use ss and dynamic speakers, he is using tubes and quads. Yet we both have the same basic conclusion upon listening after a few hundred hours burn in. I will try some Tara labs to see if another solid core copper cable acts the same way in my system. Zargon- isn't the volcano a solid core silver cable?

Reb1208 - the Volcano is not silver, it is multiple different sized strands of solid copper. It is the highest in the AQ line before the Everest which is silver. I certainly do not understand what happened in your situation. It is not consistent with my experience at all. Well, I guess that is what makes this hobby so interesting.

Actually, I use the Kilimanjaro which is the cable before Everest. It's a silver cable and smaller than the Volcano or Everest. Very open sounding and no problems with highs at all.
