NEW SPEAKER CABLE, SYSTEM SOUNDS LUSH

[audioaddict]

Bought some new speaker cable, audioquest flx/slip 14/4 2x1.5m lengths and boy, what a difference from my qed silver anniversary......the low end heft and smoothness is incredible and am well chuffed*dance4*

Thick and Thicker.

I installed my speakers on much taller stands and point them down towards my sitting position. The music seems more fluid as gravity helps the sound waves move towards my ears.

I recently sprinkled a little fairy dust over my system, and the difference was mind blowing. It wasn't cheap, and it is quite hard to get hold of, but when something so clearly defies the laws of physics, money is no object.

After owning a pair of Audioquest Type 4 for several years, I noticed after only two years of ownership that one of the 4 cores has the insulation sweating green goo, which is plasticizer migration due to reaction with the copper. As a result the insulation became brittle and any smaller flexing of the cable would break it in bits and once I had an amp short out due to this.

Thankfully it just went into protection and nothing else. This is really poor build quality and that will be the last Audioquest I'll be buying.

Soundwise I had no complaints, only praise and I bought it from a dealer, not Aliexpress or Ebay. This is the only wire that had this happen to in my entire life, including all insulated wire in general.

There's a website that does tear downs of extremely expensive cables to reveal.....cables that don't cost much at all.

Never come across anything like that, despite having dealt with, and owned, Audioquest for 25 years.
