Yes.
I have the Aries interconnect, which is QUITE close to the Nordost Quattro Fils. The Nordost is very slightly "cleaner" or so it seems. A better way to put it is that the halo of air around a Nordost has 10% humidity, while the air around the Aries is 40% humidity: slightly thicker, and so the sound radiates outward in a fashion not as nimble as the Nordost.
The Phoenix speaker cables? Sound good, but they're new, AND, it turns out, they're directional (quel surpris!), which I didn't know. So now I must see if they're oriented correctly. Having said that, they made a friend's (very, very modest) system sound great. I set him up with NAD integrated, Sound Dynamics RTS 3s, and RS Audio silver interconnect and speaker cable.
