When Stringreen mentioned changing cables like changing socks, (4 feet)… I thought of bipedalism, and walking upright… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being one to save money, I thought cables were pretty much the same, UNTIL I auditioned the new AQ speaker cables and power cords. Yes, they did make a difference for the better. One thing that was mentioned is using old glass insulators to support cables. That sounds like a great way to recycle something old to a new use. Plus, it looks cool.

Not incredibly cheap unless you keep your eyes peeled, but much more cost effective than many. And yes, they look cool too 😎 As far as speaker wire? I found a guy who makes them from NOS Western Electric wire. Bought a couple bi-wire sets from him. The wire was from the 1940’s IIRC, and are about 10 gauge or more. I’m pleased, especially for the cost, but know many really do like the AQ cables. Edited October 23, 2021 by bkeske Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that there are over 200 feet of wire, just in a pair of woofers, and a few yards of high dollar speaker wire will be "magical"? 😂 Like a lot of things, it's all about the size!
