    Very high quality Audioquest speaker cable and interconnect for sale

    Nothing serious or advanced whatsoever. I replaced existing chord silverscreen with it. I honestly didn't expect any change and was sceptical myself. Believe me or not but I felt the sound turn into a thick liquid, harsh highs disappeared, the sound was warmer and richer, sort of like cd to...

    Very high quality Audioquest speaker cable and interconnect for sale

    Correct, my bedroom system does not warrant this type of spending and hence these cables were not used there. I realise my my opinion is clouded by the fact I'm selling these cables aha but I seriously was blown away with these cables.

    Very high quality Audioquest speaker cable and interconnect for sale

    Apologies I have provoked so much anger. I am quite shocked at most of your scepticism. I'm not going to continue to justify the difference cables make or start to justify whether these cables are real?! Please just listen to upgraded equipment before passing judgement. It seems like these...

    Very high quality Audioquest speaker cable and interconnect for sale

    Ah okay, I will look at advertising them on a dedicated hifi selling website. I think cable price price can be justified as 10% of system cost. If you are willing to spend 10s of thousands on amps and speakers the cable price is relative and reasonable. In terms of whether they make a...

    Very high quality Audioquest speaker cable and interconnect for sale

    Not sure how to go about selling some high end speaker cable and rca cables I have. I contacted Audioquest to confirm their rrp price and have listed the cables on eBay at a significant reduction. I have two 8ft lengths of Audioquest Volcano speaker cable. This cable came out in 2006 and is...

    Connecting high level on REL subwoofer by biwiring

    Thanks for all your reponses. I think some of you don't fully understand my setup and I aim to clarify that now. Firstly: REL subwoofers are different to the majority of subwoofers. You do have a high level output (from the neutrik speakon input) and this is designed to be plugged into your...

    Connecting high level on REL subwoofer by biwiring

    Yes that is what the back of my sub looks like. All I'm saying is I know how to plug the 2 subs into the speaker terminals at the amp. But I now want to biwire my front speakers. So how do I plug the subs in then. I am referring to plugging in the neutrik speakon cable at the amp end.

    Connecting high level on REL subwoofer by biwiring

    Just to clarify what type of sub I have. It is an rel which means it has an life output (rca to sub out of amp) and a high level neutrik speakon output (very uncommon in normal home cinema subs). The rca is connected as normal. But the end of the neutrik speakon I plug into the amp is bare wire...

    Connecting high level on REL subwoofer by biwiring

    Pictures aren't working. They basically show scenarios of where to plug the hf+, hf-, lf+, lf- from the speakon cable out of the sub.

    Connecting high level on REL subwoofer by biwiring

    I'm currently running two rel q100e subs in a 5.2 setup. Each sub is connected to the speaker terminal on the amp of each front speaker - essentially a sub for each front. (First picture) I'm now looking to biwire my front speakers and am confused how to plug in the high level speakon...

    Using component rca cables as audio cables?

    Agree with much of what has just been said. I think most people will agree with the following. Streaming is so accessible and offers such a variety of music it will always be a big part of my setup. I'm just looking to get the best signal I can without spending too much. I don't like the idea...

    Using component rca cables as audio cables?

    With regards to a DAC, I have heard great things about the Cambridge Audio Dacmagic (the bigger unit not the Dacmagic100). Any similar suggestions in the £100 - £300 price range are welcome. Also, what is the best source I can use. Currently use apple music on my macbook or iphone. I have no...

    Using component rca cables as audio cables?

    Thanks for all of your replies. As I suspected, the cables are suitable for the job and it is reassuring to hear the general consensus that they are in fact better. Since I have these cables to hand and free of charge I will use them for the job. Incidently, this seems a great way to get high...

    Using component rca cables as audio cables?

    Hi everyone, Currently looking to upgrade my DAC and looking at wires that will connect it. So far I'm leaning towards the cinnamon or forest Audioquest USB (controversial topic with regards to USB I know). But of course I need high quality output rca cables. I have a top end component cable...

    Will 3.1 work on a 5.1 AV amp- Cambridge Audio 340R

    Hi all, I am in the process of upgrading the kitchen setup. I have picked up a 340R second hand but don't have the space for 5 speakers and a sub. I was intending to use a 3.1 setup. My question is will the receiver output accordingly to the 3.1 speakers even though it is a 5.1 amp. If so, will...
