Put those $6800 cables in a system that is capable of allowing you to discern the difference & I bet that the majority of you would walk away with a different opinion. So don't try this at home with your Sansewage receiver & your Bose 901s.

Of course, Audioquest may not be the best example since they are known primarily for their healthy dealer margin & their hot 'fluff-at-the-door' at trade shows. One time in the 80s, I remember an AQ girl walking down the hall of the Sahara in Vegas during setup wearing a skin-tight leopard print body suit & the whole hall stopped & stared . . .

Cables are a menage of some of real science & engineering versus a major dose of fairy dust. Caveat emptor.
