Audioquest Cheetah- Anyone?

Haven't heard them directly, but from what I've heard, it echoes Jkphoto's comments.

If you want to try a "charged dialectric" cable, I'd recommend Aural Thrills right here on Audiogon (userid billardhockey). His Force cable, available with Copper, Silver, or Gold Alloy wire, is most probably a lot better than the similar-priced AQ cable, and it sounds fantastic. I got the silver wire Force, then upgraded to the gold alloy.

The cable uses the chassis of the source and destination component; a third "ground" wire is attached to each. It isn't mandatory to connect it, but when I did, the music sprang from an absolutely quiet background; it was almost spooky when i first heard it !

Anyways, no affiliation with Aural Thrills, just a satisfied customer - about 10 times over !

My 2 cents.

I had mentioned "from what I've heard" - to clarify, it's what I've heard ABOUT them. From someone I know who tried them, and one other, who's comments I read online (I think on Audio Asylum, not sure though).

So the info is not first hand, admittedly, but represent two opinions of those who HAVE heard it, and basically concurred with what Jkphoto had to say: nice, quiet, no perceived huge break-in, but not worth the money they cost.

Sorry, I should have clarified more, I realize my comment reads funny....
