Anyone using AQ EVEREST, AMAZON cables

i use these cables in my system now,they replaced transparent ref xl cables, much better in my system, mike

I'm using Amazons and Cardas Golden Cross in two different systems. My impression of the Amazons is they're clear and fast. The Golden Cross is quiet and a little darker than the Amazons, without losing any delicacy. I haven't had any extended exposure to Nordost, Audionote, and Transparent. I tried a mid-priced Monster interconnect for a while, but I was disappointed. Although it sounded smooth and even in frequency response, it seemed dynamically compressed and made the music sound relatively lifeless.

I am using AQ KE-4 and Diamond Extreme, which are supposed to be very similar metals to Everest and Amazon.. They are very fast and detailed. I had some of the Nordost SPM reference, and whatever their megabuck cable is (valhalla?) and they were also nice. I chose the AQ because the price was so much better since I found AQ cables used. Nordost was very nice if you have the $$
