compare different grades of Audioquest cable


Anybody listened to various Audioquest cables and come up with opinions about the differences as you go up the line? Particularly as you go up the various Rocket cables, and to Rockefeller, Gibraltar, and Comet. Where is the sweet spot in the line in terms of bang for buck versus diminshing returns?

Oops, didn't think about long runs, could get costly$$$. I only use three footers. In that case for the money try Rocket 88 or Gibraltar. My speaker dealer has 800 diamonds double biwired with long runs w/Rocket 88. Not a bad sounding combo! For the money that maybe the sweet spot.
I have no experience with Revel except hearing the Harmon demo trailer with the Levinson/Revel setup. It was very good by the way. They had the top Transparent cabling throughout. As far as your Revels with any AQ cabling goes IME AQ cables are neutral IMO and should not change the character of your gear.
Tried the Gibraltar, very good, bought the Oaks, even better. Sold the Oaks after about a year and now have the Wildwood. Each one was better than the next by a respectable margin. The Wildwood is unreal. As for best value I would say the Oaks as they are a double counterspirel wire so it is almost like double biwire in a single cable and they're not ridiculously priced.
