Audioquest vs. Others

   I realize that this post will probably open a landslide of responses but my question is focused on the comparison of Audioquest vs other manufacturers. This is not aimed to address power cables or speaker wire but only interconnect cables. Like Audioquest, many brands offer cables in a range of prices....low, medium, high, and super high. My interest is not to compare a lower price/quality cable to one that is far superior but to ask if comparisons have been done within equal price ranges of different brands.

   Yes, some systems are capable of distinguishing minute changes in a cable makeup. Some manufacturers even offer a free trial and return policy. I know that. But, in a moderately priced system, are there any opinions that would deter one from using the Audioquest brand vs another brand? Remember....staying in a comparable price range.

I just auditioned some of the newest AQ cables- with some very high prices, and can say that they are unbelievably great.

In my opinion, AQ prices their cables realistically with regard to their capabilities. That being said, as you work your way through the different series, you will/should notice an increased sense of sound quality.
As much of this is system dependent, YMMV. But, if you have a decent system, the AQ hierarchy seems to be well ordered- not only between series but within.
