Is Audioquest clean and fast?

My experience with the King Cobra was unlike the experience of Wolf_Garcia. I found the KC to be overly warm with bloated bass and slightly dulled treble. I compared it to the Monster M1000i and found it preferable. This isn't my type of sound. If you want a interconnect with a smooth and balanced sound try Signalcable Silver Resolution. If you want a interconnect that's fast and detailed at a reasonable price, the Audio Advisor Audioquest Black Mamba II will do nicely. YMMV.

I used KC's from my preamp to 2 Rotel Class D power amps. I find the sound of them pretty good. It is neutral sounding but I like it that way. I find a good balance overall with the KC's. I bought mine used actually from here. I used Diamondbacks for my second setup and find them a great bargain as well. I'm happy with my KC's and was even thinking of moving up to Colorado's at some point to see how these sound. Good luck and I think you can't lose with the KC's in my humble opinion.

New King Cobra is 50% off retail with free U.S. shipping at Music Direct, while supplies last. Hard to beat at that level of of pricing.

@Mkash3:

I think you should go for a Colombia or Colorado for a good price. They are better in timing and drive compared to the KC and Diamondback. They also will give you better blacks and a sharper individual focus.
